Sims v. State

Alabama Court of Appeals

Sims v. State

99 So. 50, 19 Ala. App. 555, 1924 Ala. App. LEXIS 21

Alabama Court of Appeals·Decided January 22, 1924·No. 3 Div. 469.·Published

Opinion

SAMFORD, J.

The only question involved in this case is: Should the court have given the general affirmative charge as requested by defendant? The corpus delicti in this case is the possession of a still for the unlawful purpose condemned by the statute. There was abundant evidence of this fact. McBroom v. State (Ala. App.) 94 South. 790. 1 Coupling this with other evidence tending to connect the defendant with the possession, together with his voluntary confession, warranted the jury in returning a verdict of guilt.

We find no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
