Cooper v. State

115 Ga. 243 | Ga. | 1902

Kish, J.

There was no error in rejecting evidence, part of the testimony excluded being hearsay and the other irrelevant; the court did not, in its colloquy with counsel, intimate any opinion upon the facts in the case ; the instructions complained of, when considered in the connection in which they were given, were not erroneous; the requests to charge were properly refused ; the charge was full and fair, and correctly stated the law applicable to the facts of the case ; the evidence, while circumstantial, was amply sufficient to support the verdict; and there was no error in refusing to grant a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring, except Lewis, J., absent.
