13 So. 2d 423 | Ala. | 1943
The Court of Appeals, in large part, rests the reversal upon the denial of the motion for a new trial; and it appears clear enough this ruling in turn is rested upon the theory that, upon consideration of all the facts and circumstances, the verdict was contrary to the preponderance of the evidence, though the opinion does not so state in so many words. Under our limited review of the opinion of the Court of Appeals, that conclusion of fact is not here reviewable. Tortomasi v. State,
In view of another trial of the cause, we may add that we are not to be understood as being in accord with the further holding of the Court of Appeals concerning the inadmissibility of the testimony as to the footprints on the wall. There is not here presented, as in Moore v. State,
With the limitations herein discussed, we are at the conclusion the writ must be denied. It is so ordered.
Writ denied.
