Tatum v. State, 57 S.E. 956, 1 Ga. App. 778, 1907 Ga. App. LEXIS 104 (Ga. Ct. App. 1907).
Opinion
1. Proof of the corpus delicti is the first essential fact in a criminal charge; and where it is not shown beyond a reasonable doubt, a conviction would be unlawful.
2. There was no evidence in this case that the crime charged had been committed; and the verdict should have been set aside and a new trial granted. Judgment reversed.
