Holley v. State

Opinion of the Court

Luke, J.

1. While the publicity of the taking of the hog alleged to have been stolen speaks eloquently either of the defendant’s innocence or of his stupidity, yet the jury, perhaps influenced by his rambling and unsatisfactory statement, found him guilty, and the verdict, supported by evidence and approved by the trial judge, can not be disturbed by this court.

2. Neither of the special grounds shows any reason for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

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