Wood v. State

Wood v. State
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided September 15, 1881 · Speer
68 Ga. 296

Wood v. State

Opinion

1. Exception to the entire charge on the ground that it is “ on some material points contrary to law and failed to charge the law applicable to the facts, and was calculated to mislead the jury,” is too vague and general.

2. Where long paragraphs of a charge involving a number of propositions of law are excepted to without pointing out the specific errors therein, the exception is too general, and cannot be considered.

3. The verdict is amply supported by the evidence.
