Smith v. State
Smith v. State
55 Ga. App. 287; 189 S.E. 923; 1937 Ga. App. LEXIS 72
Smith v. State
Opinion of the Court
The evidence tending to connect the defendant with the offense of simple larceny (hog-stealing) was wholly circumstantial, and, while raising a strong suspicion of his guilt, was insufficient to exclude every other reasonable hypothesis. It follows that the court erred in refusing to grant a new trial.
Judgment reversed.
