Supreme Court of Georgia, 1878

Fisher v. State

Fisher v. State
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided August 15, 1878 · Bleckley
62 Ga. 174

Fisher v. State

Opinion

1. Certain articles of jewelry which disappeared from the building as the result of the burglary, having been found in the prisoner’s house, evidence showing whether he was married or unmarried was not irrelevant on his trial.

2. Illegal evidence which comes in without objection, and is ruled out as soon as any motion for the purpose is made in behalf of the prisoner, is not cause for a new trial.

5. The verdict was warranted by the law and the evidence, and no cause for a new trial is apparent.
