State Ex Rel. Carmichael v. Baggett
Supreme Court of Alabama
State Ex Rel. Carmichael v. Baggett, 41 So. 2d 584 (Ala. 1949)
252 Ala. 540; 1949 Ala. LEXIS 480
Brown, Foster, Livingston, Lawson, Simpson, Stakely
State Ex Rel. Carmichael v. Baggett
Opinion of the Court
The burden upon the relator was-to prove the guilt of the respondent beyond all reasonable doubt. We have given careful consideration to all of the evidence and are of the opinion that this burden has-not been met as to any of the specifications.
As to those specifications relating, to the acceptance of bonds executed by the Peoples Loan and Bail Bond Company, we think irregularities appear but such irregularities fall far short of constituting. *541 willful neglect of duty or corruption in office.
We therefore find the respondent not guilty.
