Green v. State
Supreme Court of Georgia
Indictment for burglary. Before Judge Littlejohn. Sumter superior court. June 22, 1903.
1Opinion of the CourtCobb, J.
The evidence authorized the verdict. The charge of the judge accurately, though in general terms, instructed the jury as to the law of the ease; and if any more specific instructions were desired, they should have been made the subject-matter of a special request. The mere failure of a judge to instruct the jury as to the rules to be followed in dealing with conflicting-evidence will not generally require the granting of a new trial The discretion of the trial judge in overruling the motion for a new trial will not be controlled. Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
