Edwards v. State

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

The defendant was convicted of burglary. The evidence tending to connect him with the offense was wholly circumstantial; and while it raised a strong suspicion of his guilt, it was not sufficient to exclude every other reasonable hypothesis. The court erred in refusing to grant him a new trial.

Judgment revo'sed.

MacIntyre and Guerry, JJ., concur.
