King v. State
King v. State
37 Ga. App. 482; 141 S.E. 87; 1927 Ga. App. LEXIS 353
King v. State
Opinion of the Court
“The verdict in this case is dependent entirely on circumstantial evidence. The proved facts are consistent with innocence, and are insufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of the guilt of the accused. Suspicion of guilt will not authorize a conviction. Penal Code (1910), § 1010; Williams v. State, 113 Ga. 721 (39 S. E. 487). It was error to refuse a new trial.” Henderson v. State, 147 Ga. 134 (2) (92 S. E. 871).
Judgment reversed.
