8 Ga. App. 842 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1911
Learned counsel for the plaintiff in error strongly insists that the jury should not have believed the testimony for the prosecution, because the defendant had a much larger number of witnesses, and their testimony disproved the facts testified to by the witness for the State in relation to the transaction of May 27, and especially disproved that there was any criminal intercourse on November 5. This court is so thoroughly committed to the principle that the jury are exclusive judges of the facts as to leave no room for discussion or inquiry as to why the jury based their finding upon the testimony of one witness rather than upon that of another or even of many others.

The credibility of the witness is
Judgment affirmed.
