“It is a fundamental rule in Georgia that jury instructions must be read and considered as a whole in determining whether the charge contained error.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““ ‘It is a fundamental rule in Georgia that jury instructions must be read and considered as a whole in determining whether the charge contained error. . . .’ A complete review of the court’s charge in [this] case . . . reveals that neither this isolated charge nor the charge as a whole, shifted the burden of proof on any issue to the defendant. Throughout the charge, the judge pointed out the burden of proof always rests on the State. We find no error.” [Hambrick v. State, 256 Ga. 688 (3) ( 353 SE2d 177 ) (1987).]”
