Opinion of the Court
The accused was indicted for murder. The evidence introduced by the State on the trial tended, if believed, to make out a case of murder ; while that introduced by the accused would, if credible, show complete justification; and there was no evidence to authorize a verdict of voluntary manslaughter. When, therefore, the jury returned a verdict of voluntary manslaughter, it was error for the judge to overrule a motion for a new trial based upon the ground that the verdict was contrary to law and the evidence. Kendrick v. State, 113 Ga. 759.
Judgment reversed.
