Graves v. State

Graves v. State

Opinion of the Court

SAMFORD, J.

The evidence in this case is not sufficient to convict the defendant of a violation of any of the prohibition laws of this state, and the court should have so charged the jury. Prosecutions, such as are here presented, have a tendency to bring the prohibition laws into disrepute, and should never be brought.

For the error pointed out the judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
