Gibbons v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided July 22, 1919 · Stephens
24 Ga. App. 130; 99 S.E. 894; 1919 Ga. App. LEXIS 445

Gibbons v. State

Opinion of the Court

Stephens, J.

1. Where in a criminal case the defendant’s guilt was clearly and positively established by legal and competent testimony of unimpeached witnesses, the admission of hearsay testimony from another witness, even as to a material fact, was not prejudicial to the defendant, when its exclusion could not have produced a different verdict. The admission of such evidence was harmless and affords no ground for a new trial.

2.- The verdict is supported by the evidence.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, P. J., and Bloodworth, J,, concur.
