Shahan v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided March 8, 1922 · Luke
28 Ga. App. 363; 111 S.E. 224; 1922 Ga. App. LEXIS 515

Shahan v. State

Opinion of the Court

Luke, J.

The defendant was convicted of the offense of manufacturing liquor. His conviction was dependent entirely upon circumstantial evidence. A careful examination of the entire record convinces us that his conviction was not authorized. It is not necessary to consider the special grounds of the motion for a new trial. It was error to overrule the motion for a new trial.

Judgment reversed,

Bloodworth, J., concurs. Broyles, C. J., dissents.
