Waits v. State , 204 Ga. 295 ( 1948 )


Menu:

  • 1. "A motion to set aside a verdict and judgment is not an appropriate remedy in a criminal case." Claughton v. State, 179 Ga. 157 (175 S.E. 470), citing Brown v. State, 150 Ga. 585 (104 S.E. 428); McDonald v. State, 126 Ga. 536 (55 S.E. 235); Hughes v. State, 159 Ga. 818 (5) (127 S.E. 109); Gravitt v. State, 165 Ga. 779 (3) (142 S.E. 100).

    2. Under the foregoing ruling, the trial court did not err in dismissing on motion of the solicitor-general the instant motion to set aside a verdict and judgment rendered March 3, 1947, in a criminal case in which the defendant was convicted and sentenced for robbery by force and violence.

    Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur, except Bell, J., absent on account of illness.
