Griffin v. State
Court of Appeals of Georgia
Indictment for murder — conviction of manslaughter; from Ware superior court — Judge Summerall. . March 11, 1916.
1Opinion of the CourtBroyles, J.
1. Under the facts of the case the admission of the testimony complained of in the 1st and 2d grounds of the amendment to the motion for a new trial was not error. The evidence excepted to in the second ground of the motion was admissible as tending to explain the conduct and the state of mind of the defendant and the other parties involved, which led up to the fatal affray. Neither was this evidence inadmissible merely because it tended to show that the defendant was guilty of another and separate crime than the one for which he was being tried. Frank v. State, 141 Ga. 243 (80 S. E. 1016).
