Leeth v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided July 10, 1928No. 18981Published

1Opinion of the CourtLuke, J.

Leeth was convicted of violating the prohibition law. The evi-

dence was wholly circumstantial and, in our opinion, not sufficient to meet the legal requirement. Eor this reason the court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.

■Judgment reversed.
