Conner v. State

187 S.E. 863, 183 Ga. 238

Opinion

Beck, Presiding Justice.

1. Under the evidence in this case the jury were authorized to find that in the execution of a common purpose and design the accused was present when the decedent was shot and killed, and that the killing was the result of a conspiracy between the accused and a third party. The homicide was without justification or mitigation, and the jury did not err, under the evidence in the case, in returning a verdict of guilty.

2. The court did not err in overruling the motion for new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except Atkinson, J., absent because of illness.
