State v. Alvis

Hatcher, Judge :

Defendants were jointly convicted of armed robbery and sentenced in the circuit court, and then were granted a writ of error here.

The evidence herein is highly contradictory, though that of the State is ample to sustain the verdict. Some of the members of this Court feel now that had they been on the jury they would have been averse to conviction.
