People v. Collins
California Supreme Court
Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of the city and county of San Francisco, and from an order refusing a new trial. The defendant was convicted of the crime of rape. The further facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
1Opinion of the CourtSharpstein, J.
We are urged by appellant’s counsel to reverse the judgment and order denying defendant’s motion for a new trial on two grounds, neither of which, in our opinion, is tenable.
1. The defendant’s motion for a continuance on the ground that his counsel had been unable, in consequence of another and prior engagement, to make due preparation for the trial of defendant’s case, was one which *412addressed itself to the sound discretion of the court below, and ought not to be interfered with unless we could see clearly that there had been an abuse of discretion, which is not in this case apparent to us.
