Kennedy v. State

Opinion of the Court

THOMAS, J.

The court erred in giving at the request of the solicitor the following charge: “If the jury believe the evidence in this case they must find defendant guilty.” It is faulty, in that it omits the words “beyond a reasonable doubt.”— Coe v. State, 113 Ala. 664, 21 South. 1025, and cases there cited.

Reversed and remanded.
