Booker v. State

110 S.E. 338, 28 Ga. App. 118, 1922 Ga. App. LEXIS 333

Opinion

Bloodworth, J.

1. In this case the accused claimed that he met the girl by appointment, and denied that he committed an assault or battery upon her. The evidence for the State, if true, is sufficient to prove a felonious assault. “ There was no error in omitting to charge the jury on the law of assault, or assault and battery, these offenses, under the evidence, not being involved. The accused denied that he committed any assault, or assault and battery, upon the female, and the evidence of the State, if credible, proved the felonious assault as alleged in the indictment. See Wade v. State, 11 Ga. App. 411 (5) (75 S. E. 494).” Marshall v. State, 20 Ga. App. 72 (2) (92 S. E. 552).

2. When considered in connection with the facts of the case and in the light of the entire charge of the court, there is no reversible error in any of the excerpts from the charge of which complaint is made in the special grounds of the motion for a new trial.

3. The verdict is not without evidence to support it, and has the approval of the trial judge, and the judgment is

Affirmed.
