Tate v. State , 110 Ga. 310 ( 1900 )


Menu:
  • Lumpkin, P. J.

    While the evidence, which was entirely circumstantial, was consistent with the guilt of the accused and sufficient to raise a strong suspicion against him, it was also consistent with the hypothesis that lie was innocent, and did not establish t-lie charge made in the accusation with that degree of certainty which the law requires-in criminal cases.

    Judgment reversed.

    All the Justices concurring.
