145 S.E. 453; 1928 Ga. LEXIS 139
Gilbert
Rushing v. State
Opinion of the Court
1. The verdict was supported by evidence.
2. The sole special ground of the motion for new trial is based upon newly discovered evidence which tended to show that at the time of the liomi.cide the accused was of unsound mind. The facts alleged were contradicted in counter-affidavits filed by the State. On conflicting evidence this court can not hold that the trial judge erred in refusing a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence. Moreover, the grant of a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence .is not favored by the courts. Judgment affirmed.
