Harris v. State

Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided May 5, 1897PublishedCited by 15 opinions

Indictment for rape. Before Judge Fite. Bartow superior court. January term, 1897.

1Opinion of the CourtFish, J.

The law announced in the headnote is well settled. Penal Code, §19; Kelsey’s case, 62 Ga. 558; Johnson’s case, 73 Ga. 107. The evidence for the State, if credible, showed conclusively that the accused committed the crime of rape, as charged in the indictment; and it was therefore error to charge that a verdict for assault with intent to rape could be found. Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring.
