Maxwell v. State

Broyles, C. J.

1. Relationship of a juror within the prohibited degree to the defendant is not cause for a new trial in a criminal case, although the relationship was unknown to the defendant or his counsel until after the verdict. McCrimmon v. State, 126 Ga. 560 (2) (55 S. E. 481).

Decided January 17, 1922.

Indictment for possessing intoxicating liquor; from Wilkes superior court — Judge Shurley. September 29, 1921.

William Wynne, Hugh E. Combs, for plaintiff in error. M. L. Felts, solicitor-general, contra.

2. The verdict was amply authorized by the evidence, and the court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
