Decided July 1, 1870

Indiana Supreme Court · decided 1870-07-01

<p>APPEAL from tbe Jefferson Criminal Circuit Court.</p>

Decided 1870-07-01

Frazer, J.

¶1All the questions now presented, except such as are hereinafter specially alluded to, were considered in Eitel v. The State, ante, p. 201, and decided adversely to the appellant.

¶2The court refused to instruct the jury, that “the State is required to prove all the material facts charged, beyond a reasonable doubt; and if there is a reasonable doubt as to whether the liquor received and drunk was a sale or a gift, this rule applies.”

¶3It seems to us that this instruction should have been given, and that the error in refusing it requires us to reverse the judgment.

¶4We do not perceive any other error in this record.

¶5Reversed, and remanded for a new trial.
