Moye 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 raising a suspicion against him, was insufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt. The court erred in refusing . to grant a new trial.

Judgment reversed.

MacIntyre and Guerry, JJ., concur.
