Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided November 11, 1930 · Broyles
42 Ga. App. 277; 155 S.E. 785

Shepherd v. State

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

1. The record fails to show an abuse of discretion on the part of the trial judge in denying the defendant’s motion for a continuance of the case.

2. The verdict was amply authorized by the evidence, and the grounds of the motion for a new trial based upon alleged newly discovered evidence were properly overruled, as the evidence was cumulative and impeaching in its nature. The refusal to grant a new trial was not error.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke amd Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
