Huff v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided April 21, 1950No. 32835PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Opinion of the CourtMacIntyre, P. J.

1. “The instruction, ‘a confession alone, uncorroborated by any other evidence, shall not justify a conviction,’ was not erroneous, misleading, or confusing, for not giving in connection therewith any rule to test the degree of corroboration, or that the jury were the judges of the sufficiency of corroboration. The above excerpt is a quotation from the last sentence of section 38-420 of the Code. This entire section was given in charge, and if additional instructions were desired, a timely and proper request therefor should have been made.” Williams v. State, 199 Ga. 504 (34 S. E. 2d, 854).
