Barclay v. State

24 Ga. App. 344; 100 S.E. 756; 1919 Ga. App. LEXIS 631

Barclay v. State

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

1. In the absence of a timely and appropriate written request for more particular instructions upon the law of reasonable doubt, the charge upon that subject as given was sufficient.

2. The 1st and 2d special grounds of the motion for a new trial are merely elaboration of the general grounds. The evidence authorized the verdict, and the court did not err in overruling the motion for a now trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Lulce and Bloodworth, JJ., ooneur.
