Sturkey v. State
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided November 12, 1902 · Fish
116 Ga. 526; 42 S.E. 747; 1902 Ga. LEXIS 162

Sturkey v. State

Opinion of the Court

Fish, J.

The evidence was sufficient to support the verdict; the alleged newly discovered evidence was either merely cumulative or impeaching; and even if the sentence imposed had been excessive, it would not have been a good ground for granting a new trial. Burgamy v. State, 114 Ga. 852.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring, except Lumpkin, P. J., absent, and Candler, J., not presiding.
