Simmons v. State
Simmons v. State
Opinion of the Court
Nathaniel Simmons was indicted for assault with intent to murder by cutting and stabbing Willie Hall. On the trial before the judge without a jury the defendant was found guilty and now assigns error on the judgment overruling his motion for new trial based on the usual general grounds only. The evidence adduced on the trial
Where a trial judge hears a case without the intervention of a jury, the credibility of the witnesses is for his determination. Boynton v. State, 11 Ga. App. 268 (75 SE 9); Goggans v. State, 14 Ga. App. 822 (2) (82 SE 357); Holbrook v. Rodgers, 105 Ga. App. 219, 221 (124 SE2d 443).
The evidence authorized the conviction and the trial court did not err in overruling the defendant’s motion for new trial based on the usual general grounds only.
Judgment affirmed.
