Shannon v. State

Shannon v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided November 16, 1921 · Bloodworth
27 Ga. App. 591; 109 S.E. 511; 1921 Ga. App. LEXIS 289

Shannon v. State

Opinion of the Court

Bloodworth, J.

1. The only special ground of the motion for a new trial is based upon alleged newly discovered evidence, but no affidavits of movant, counsel, or witnesses are produced, as required by § 6086 of the Civil Code of 1910, and therefore this ground of the motion is so defective that it cannot be considered.

2. The jury passed upon the facts in a trial where no error of law has been pointed out; their verdict was not disturbed by the trial judge and cannot be by this court.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, C. J., and Luke, J., concur.
