““To be harmless, a Bruton error must be harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Schneble v. Florida, 405 U. S. 427 [(92 SC 1056, 31 LE2d 340)] (1972).” Munford v. Seay, 241 Ga. 223, 224 (1) ( 244 SE2d 857 ) (1978). “Where overwhelming evidence of a defendant’s guilt exists apart from the statement of the co-defendant, then any violation of Bruton is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.” Adorno v. State, 236 Ga. App. 588, 592 (3) ( 512 SE2d 703 ) (1999).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Under the standards set out by the Supreme Court of Georgia, the “highly probable” test makes affirmance conditional on high probability that error did not affect the judgment. The test compels a judge to go beyond the appearances of the result to an examination of what causal links there may be between error and the judgment.”
