Alabama Court of Appeals

Decided June 15, 1926No. 6 Div. 899PublishedCited by 21 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtSamford, J.

The evidence, though circumstantial in a large measure, tended to connect the defendant with the possession of the whisky and that she had it for sale. Therefore all charges instructing affirmatively that the defendant was not guilty were properly refused. Tatum v. State, 20 Ala. App. 436, 102 So. 726.

Refused charge 32 does not state a eorreet proposition of law. Manucaption or physical dominion of whisky is not necessary to a conviction for possessing liquor under our statute. No sufficient exception is reserved to the remark of the solicitor as to authorize a review by this court.
