Wright v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided February 6, 1936

Court of Appeals of Georgia · decided 1936-02-06

Decided 1936-02-06

Broyles, C. J.

¶1The evidence connecting the defendant with the offense charged (possessing whisky) was wholly circumstantial. The ground of the motion for new trial assigning error on the failure of the court to instruct the jury on the law of circumstantial evidence is meritorious: and the refusal to grant a new trial was error.

¶2Judgment reversed.

M'aelntyre and Guerry, JJ., concur.
