Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided March 22, 1906 · Atkinson
125 Ga. 6; 53 S.E. 815; 1906 Ga. LEXIS 9

Counsel

Payton & Hay, for plaintiff in error., J. H, Tipton, solicitor, contra.

Caesar v. State

Opinion of the Court

Atkinson, J.

This case, upon its facts, is controlled by the decision of this court in Minor v. State, 120 Ga. 490; and a new trial is ordered solely because of the improper argument of counsel for the State touching the failure of the accused to avail himself of his privilege of making a statement to the jury in his own behalf.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur. Payton & Hay, for plaintiff in error. J. H, Tipton, solicitor, contra.
