Glenn v. State

Opinion of the Court

Lumpkin, C. J.

We have examined the record in this case, and finding no error of law, and the same being fully and fairly submitted to the j ury, and they having returned a verdict of guilty, we see no occasion to reverse the finding and send the case back to be reheard.

The jury must be allowed to exercise their legitimate functions; that is, to pass upon the facts in all such cases; and we are unwilling to substitute ourselves in their place.

Judgment affirmed..
