Scott v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided April 16, 1924 · Luke
32 Ga. App. 52; 122 S.E. 647; 1924 Ga. App. LEXIS 252

Scott v. State

Opinion of the Court

Luke, J.

The conviction of the defendant being dependent upon the evidence of an accomplice, and there being no corroborating circumstances which in themselves and independently of the testimony of the accomplice directly connect him with the crime, it was error to overrule his motion for a new trial. See Baker v. State, 14 Ga. App. 578 (4) (81 S. E. 805), and cases cited.

Judgment reversed.

Broyles, G. J., and Blood/worth, J., concur.
