McAfee v. State
68 Ga. 823
Opinion
Possession of stolen goods shortly after the commission of a larceny, if unexplained and unaccounted for, will furnish a basis for a verdict of guilty against the person so found in possession. The nearer the possession to the time of the larceny, the stronger will be the inference of guilt; and the question of the result of the lapse of time is for the jury. 1 Gr. Ev., §§31, 34; Ros. Cr. Ev., 19 (Ed. 1874 ;] 53 Ga., 143; 58 Ib., 602.
