Persons v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided April 11, 1922

Court of Appeals of Georgia · decided 1922-04-11

<p>Indictment for kidnapping; from Houston superior court — Judge Malcolm D. Jones. November 26, Í921.</p>

Decided 1922-04-11

Luke, J.

¶1This case is here upon the sole assignment of error that the evidence did not authorize the verdict. There was evidence in the case which would have authorized the acquittal of the defendant, but the truth of the transaction is for determination by the jury. There being also evidence which would authorize the defendant’s conviction, and the conviction having the approval of the trial judge, this court cannot set aside the judgment overruling the motion for a new trial.

¶2 Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, C. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
