36 Ga. App. 771

Johnson v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided May 11, 1927

Court of Appeals of Georgia · decided 1927-05-11

Decided 1927-05-11

Broyles, C. J.

¶1The motion for a new trial contained the usual general grounds only. The evidence for the State, combined with portions of the defendant’s statement to the jury (and it is well settled that the jury can believe portions of a defendant’s statement and disbelieve the rest of it), authorized the verdict, and the refusal to grant a new trial was not error.

¶2 Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodwortk, JJ., concur.
