Graves v. State

92 So. 908, 18 Ala. App. 434, 1922 Ala. App. LEXIS 122

Alabama Court of Appeals·Decided April 11, 1922·No. 8 Div. 940.·Published

Opinion

SAMFORD, J.

The evidence in this case is not sufficient to convict the defendant of a violation of any of the prohibition laws of this state, and the court should have so charged the jury. Prosecutions, such as are here presented, have a tendency to bring the prohibition laws into disrepute, and should never be brought.

For the error pointed out the judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
