Vaughan v. Wann
Opinion of the Court

Vaughan contends that he “met the statutory and case law requirements for proving a valid will and [that] there was insufficient evidence to overcome the prima facie case established by him.”
The only way to preserve the question of the sufficiency or weight of the evidence for review on appeal is to raise it in a motion for new trial. State v. Long, 344 So.2d 754 (Ala. 1977); Francis v.

AFFIRMED.
