Supreme Court of Georgia
Clemons v. State, 159 Ga. 425 (Ga. 1924)
125 S.E. 800; 1924 Ga. LEXIS 471
Gilbert

Clemons v. State

Opinion of the Court

Gilbert, J.

The defendant was convicted of the offense of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. His motion for a new trial, which was based solely on the general grounds, was overruled, and he excepted. Held:

1. The evidence supported the verdict.

2. Although the evidence of the witnesses for the State contained contradictions, there was no abuse of discretion in denying a new trial. Compare Davis v. State, 94 Ga. 399 (19 S. E. 243).

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
