Georgia Court of Appeals, 1921

Cartright v. State

Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided June 30, 1921 · Broyles

27 Ga. App. 258; 108 S.E. 70; 1921 Ga. App. LEXIS 808

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

1. The evidence authorized a finding that the offense charged was committed by the defendant in the county of Carroll.

2. The ground of the motion for a new trial, based upon alleged newly discovered evidence, is fatally defective; as ihe newly discovered evidence is that of witnesses, and no affidavits as to their residence, associates, means of knowledge, character, and credibility were adduced. Civil Code (1910), § 6086.

3. The evidence authorized the verdict, and the court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
