Jackson v. State
Jackson v. State
20 Ga. App. 721; 93 S.E. 230; 1917 Ga. App. LEXIS 1047
Jackson v. State
Opinion of the Court
1. Upon the trial of one charged with rape the particulars of a complaint made- by the female are not admissible in behalf of the prosecution, unless the complaint be a part of the res gestae or the particulars of the complaint be shown upon cross-examination. Huey v. State, 7 Ga. App. 398 (66 S. E. 1023) ; Williams v. State, 15 Ga. App. 306 (82 S. E. 938). The court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial, because of the admission of such testimony.
2. If is unnecessary to consider the other grounds of the motion for a new trial, as it is not likely that the alleged errors will recur upon another trial'.
Judgment reversed.
