Curtis v. Macon Railway & Light Co.
88 S.E. 997, 18 Ga. App. 145, 1916 Ga. App. LEXIS 184
Opinions
It being sharply in issue as to whether the plaintiff’s damages were caused by the defendant’s negligence, or by his own contributory negligence growing out of his alleged (but denied) drunkenness and recklessness, it was error for the court to admit, over objection, evidence that the plaintiff was tried and convicted in the police court for being drunk and for reckless driving at the time of the injury.
Judgment reversed.
