Arrington v. State

Opinion of the Court

SAMFORD, J.

We have read this record en banc and fail to find any evidence to justify a conviction. What other influences brought about the verdict of guilt are not disclosed by the record. Be that as it may, the law requires some evidence of guilt before a conviction will be permitted to stand.

The affirmative charge should have been given for defendant. The defendant’s motion for a new trial should have been granted. The judgment is reversed, and the cause is remanded.

Reyersed and remanded.
