Taylor v. State

1. Whether an extraordinary motion for new trial should be granted or refused rests largely in the discretion of the trial court, and a judgment refusing the same will not be reversed in the absence of abuse of discretion. See Rogers v. State, 129 Ga. 589 (4) (59 S.E. 288); Brown v. State, 141 Ga. 783 (1) (82 S.E. 238); Towler v. State, 24 Ga. App. 362 (100 S.E. 787).

2. Motions for new trial on extraordinary grounds are not favored. See Hays v. Westbrook, 96 Ga. 219 (22 S.E. 893); Reese v. State, 18 Ga. App. 289 (89 S.E. 303); Minyard v. State, 18 Ga. App. 312 (89 S.E. 379); Davis v. State,…
