40 S.E. 242; 1901 Ga. LEXIS 737
Fish, Little

Shaw v. State

Opinion of the Court

Fish, J.

1. Under the evidence appearing in the record, there was no error in charging the law embraced in the Penal Code, § 73.

2. Inasmuch, however, as the evidence was insufficient to support a conviction of any crime greater than voluntary manslaughter, and the accused was found guilty of murder, the court erred in not granting a new trial.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring, except Little, J., absent.
