Dorsey v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided July 11, 1922 · Broyles
28 Ga. App. 754; 113 S.E. 35; 1922 Ga. App. LEXIS 831

Dorsey v. State

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

1. The evidence in support of the defense of alibi was not of such probative value as to require a charge on the law of alibi, in the absence of a timely written request. Paulk v. State, 8 Ga. App. 704 (2) (70 S. E. 50), and citations.

2. The defendant’s conviction was amply authorized by the evidence and the court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

■Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
