On Motion for Rehearing.
On motion for rehearing, counsel for the appellant asserts that in holding that the appellant waived his objection to the introduction of the key into evidence, we overlooked the rule that a failure to object at trial to evidence which has already been ruled admissible in response to a motion to suppress does not constitute a waiver. See Kilgore v. State, 247 Ga. 70 (274 SE2d 332) (1981). However, we reiterate that counsel did not merely fail to object to the introduction of the key as evidence; he affirmatively stated upon inquiry by the trial court that he had “no objection” to it at the time it was tendered. We have no rule in this state which prohibits counsel from affirmatively waiving or withdrawing an objection previously made. The motion for rehearing is accordingly denied.
