Bonner v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided December 10, 1929 · Broyles
40 Ga. App. 666; 150 S.E. 869; 1929 Ga. App. LEXIS 699

Bonner v. State

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

1. The alleged newly discovered evidence is largely cumulative and impeaching, and is not of such a character as would probably cause a different verdict upon another 'trial of the ease.

2. The special grounds of the motion for a new trial, not dealt with above, show no cause for a reversal of the judgment.

3. While the evidence as a whole amply authorized a verdict of murder, there was some evidence supporting the verdict returned (voluntary manslaughter), and the refusal to grant a new trial was not error.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., eoneur.
