Sims v. State
Supreme Court of Alabama
Sims v. State, 99 Ala. 161 (Ala. 1892)
Haralson
Sims v. State
Opinion of the Court
The question of the intent with wJiich the defendant took and carried away the yearling, wa$;not free from doubt, and was one of inference from the evidence, proper to be determined by the jury. There were conflicts in the evidence, — some tending to establish the case for the State,- — -and different inferences, as to the intent of the defendant in taking the animal, may be reasonably drawn from it. In such a case, the general charge in favor of the defendant, was properly refused.—Johnson v. The State, 73 Ala. 523; Bromley v. Birmingham Min. R. R. Co., 95 Ala. 397; 11 So. Eep. 341.
Affirmed.
