Williams v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided September 30, 1943 · Broyles, MacIntyre, Gardner
27 S.E.2d 108; 70 Ga. App. 13; 1943 Ga. App. LEXIS 221 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Williams v. State

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

George Williams was convicted of a misdemeanor (operating a lottery known as “the number game”). The evidence amply authorized the jury to find that he was aiding and abetting in the operation of the lottery, and therefore that he was guilty as a principal. The overruling of his certiorari, which was based only on the ground that the verdict was not authorized by the evidence, was not error.

Judgment affirmed.

MacIntyre and Gardner, JJ., concur.
