Martin v. State

Opinion of the Court

BRICKEN, P. J.

We'have carefully read and considered the evidence in this case as disclosed by the record, and, while the corpus delicti is proven beyond a reasonable doubt, there is not the slightest legal evidence connecting the defendant with the commission of the crime as charged. The general charge as requested by the defendant should have been given, and for this error the judgment is reversed, and the cause is remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
