179 So. 2d 428 | Ala. Ct. App. | 1965
This cause was submitted September 9, 1965.
Berry appeals from a judgment on a general verdict of guilt.
The Court adjudicated him guilty of grand larceny (a charge found in count 2 of the indictment)1 and sentenced him to four years in the penitentiary.
When the State rested, defense counsel moved to exclude the evidence because, under Code 1940, T. 15, § 307,2 there was no corroboration to the required degree of the testimony of witnesses, who, if at all connected in the crime with the defendant, were self admitted accomplices.
We have carefully reviewed the evidence adduced by the State. Since there is but a vacuum of negative proportions, a recital of facts would serve no purpose.
We conclude the motion to exclude should have been granted. Lindsey v. State,
The judgment below is reversed and the cause remanded for new trial.
Reversed and remanded.
