Tate v. State
Tate v. State
110 Ga. 310; 35 S.E. 154; 1900 Ga. LEXIS 396
Tate v. State
Opinion of the Court
While the evidence, which was entirely circumstantial, was consistent with the guilt of the accused and sufficient to raise a strong suspicion against him, it was also consistent with the hypothesis that lie was innocent, and did not establish t-lie charge made in the accusation with that degree of certainty which the law requires-in criminal cases.
Judgment reversed.
