17 Ga. App. 397 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1915
In the opinion of a majority of the court it was error to admit testimony as to the father of the accused, attribut
In the opinion of the writer, the explanatory note by the court, which shows that the evidence objected to was-admitted for the sole purpose of impeaching a witness who had testified for the defendant, and that the jury were specially instructed that this testimony was not admitted for the purpose of proving15 anything against the defendant, shows that the admission of such testimony was not error. And further, in the opinion of the writer, under the facts of this case (which are so strong as almost to demand the conviction of the accused), even if the admission of this testimony was error, it was not sufficient to require the grant of a new trial.
Judgment reversed.
