Wilson v. State

66 S.E. 382, 7 Ga. App. 200, 1909 Ga. App. LEXIS 586

Opinions

Hill, C. J.

On the trial of a criminal case, where the proved circumstances raise only a bare suspicion of guilt, and are too weak and inconclusive to prove guilt, or to exclude a reasonable hypothesis of innocence, a verdict of conviction is without evidence to support it and should be set aside as contrary to law. Griffin v. State, 2 Ga. App. 534 (58 S. E. 781). Judgment reversed.
