Supreme Court of Georgia, 1902

King v. State

Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided November 13, 1902 · Cobb

116 Ga. 563; 42 S.E. 763; 1902 Ga. LEXIS 179

Opinion of the Court

Cobb, J.

The motion for a new trial was upon the general grounds only. The evidence, though circumstantial, was sufficient to warrant the verdict, and the discretion of the trial judge, exercised in overruling the motion for a new trial, will not be controlled.

Judgment affirmed.

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