Norman v. State

112 S.E. 293, 28 Ga. App. 561, 1922 Ga. App. LEXIS 691

Opinion

Broyles, C. J.

1. After correctly charging the jury the law in reference to the defendant’s statement at the trial, it was not error for the court to add: “remembering that it is not under oath nor subject to the penalties incident to a sworn witness.” Ryals v. State, 125 Ga. 266 (1) (54 S. E. 168), and citation-.

2. The remaining ground of the amendment to the motion for a new trial is without substantial merit.

3. The defendant’s conviction was amply authorized by the evidence, and the court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
