176 Ga. 755

Clowdis v. State

Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided March 18, 1933

Supreme Court of Georgia · decided 1933-03-18

Decided 1933-03-18

Hill, J.

¶1The act of 1918 (Ga. L. 1918, p. 259) requires that the testimony of the female be supported. The present ease being controlled by that statute, the evidence is insufficient to authorize the verdict of guilty, there being no evidence to support the testimony of the female alleged to have been raped. The motion for new trial embraces only the general grounds, and the judge erred in refusing a new trial. 52 C. J. 1103, § 136(b) et seq.

¶2Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur except
