Clemons v. State
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
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.
