State v. Giardoni

Supreme Court of New Jersey

Decided May 3, 1928

Supreme Court of New Jersey · decided 1928-05-03

Decided 1928-05-03

Per Curiam.

¶1Plaintiff in error was convicted under an indictment charging carnal abuse and indecent assault.

¶2There are but two questions urged—

¶31. Error in permitting the complaining witness Elizabeth Jess, a girl of eleven years of age, to be sworn and testify.

¶4We are satisfied that the trial court was well within its discretion in taking the action complained of, and there was therefore no error.

¶52. That the verdict is against the weight of the evidence.

¶6This ground is not before us, as the record presents no such assignment of error nor specification of cause, and. further because the state of the case does not contain the certificate of the trial judge necessary'' to bring the matter before us under section 136 of the Criminal Procedure act.

¶7The judgment below is therefore affirmed.
