Rutland v. State

Rutland v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided September 13, 1939 · Guerry
60 Ga. App. 608; 4 S.E.2d 497; 1939 Ga. App. LEXIS 103

Rutland v. State

Opinion of the Court

Guerry, J.

The evidence, while conflicting, amply supports the verdict. The assignments of error in respect to the charge of the court, when taken in connection with the charge as a whole, are without merit. The request to charge on the theory that the defendant desisted from any intention to use the shotgun was not supported by any evidence, and the court did not err in refusing the request. The other principle requested was fully covered by the charge as given.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, O. J., and MacIntyre, J., concur.
