Miller v. State
Miller v. State
52 Ga. App. 383; 183 S.E. 214; 1936 Ga. App. LEXIS 640
Miller v. State
Opinion of the Court
The evidence tending to connect the accused with the
offense charged (burglary) was wholly circumstantial (the incriminatory statement made by the defendant not amounting to a confession, and not being direct evidence), and, while raising a strong suspicion against him, was not sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt. The court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.
Judgment reversed.
