Raines v. State

Opinion of the Court

Luke, J.

The defendant’s conviction was dependent upon circumstantial evidence which, in our opinion, did not meet the requirements of the law. For this reason it was error to overrule the motion for a new trial.

Judgment reversed.

Broyles, C. J., concurs. Bloodworth, J., absent on account of illness. W. A. McClellan, T. A. Jacobs Jr., for plaintiff in error. Roy W. Moore, solicitor, contra.
