Seckinger v. State , 11 Ga. App. 797 ( 1912 )


Menu:
  • Hill, C. J.

    The evidence in support of the verdict was entirely circumstantial, and, weighed most strongly against the accused, raised only a bare suspicion of his guilt, and was consistent with his innocence. The verdict was therefore unauthorized by law. Winkles v. State, 4 Ga. App. 559 (61 S. E. 1128) ; Thompson v. State, 5 Ga. App. 7 (62 S. E. 571); Moore v. State, 8 Ga. App. 113 (68 S. E. 616).

    Judgment reversed.
