Grindle v. State

Deen, Chief Judge.

Alfred Charles Grindle was tried by a jury and convicted of robbery by sudden snatching.

1. Appellant contends that the trial court erred in failing to charge on the law of circumstantial evidence although such a charge was not requested.

"A charge on circumstantial evidence is required only when the case is wholly dependent thereon. [Cit.]” Cowans v. State, 145 Ga. App. 693 (244 SE2d 624) (1978). In this case, the evidence against the appellant was not wholly circumstantial; the victim gave positive in-court identification of the accused as the person who robbed him.
