Duke v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided December 5, 1923 · Luke
31 Ga. App. 308; 120 S.E. 559; 1923 Ga. App. LEXIS 916

Duke v. State

Opinion of the Court

Luke, J.

The defendant’s contention that he was convicted upon the uncorroborated evidence of an accomplice is without merit. The testimony of the accomplice was corroborated by evidence which tended directly to connect the defendant with the commission of the offense. The defendant has had a legal trial, the verdict has been approved *309by the trial court, and for no reason pointed out was it error to overrule his motion for a new trial.

Decided December 5, 1923. J. A. Darsey, for plaintiff in error. E. M. Owen, solicitor-general, contra.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, O. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
