Williams v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided November 16, 1921No. 12705PublishedCited by 2 opinions

Indictment for violation of liquor law; from Muscogee superior court — Judge Munro. July 9, 1921.

1Opinion of the CourtBloodworth, J.

The indictment in this case contains two counts; the first charging that the accused had in his possession, custody, and control certain liquors, and the second that he sold such liquors. Upon the trial the jury returned a general verdict of guilty, which means guilty on both counts; and as there is no evidence to show any sale, the verdict is without evidence to support it. See Jones v. State, 27 Ga. App. 600 (110 S. E. 37). *610See also Sewell v. State, 23 Ga. App. 765 (5), 766 (99 S. E. 320) Morse v. State, 10 Ga. App. 61, 66 (72 S. E. 534).

Judgment reversed.
