16 S.E.2d 882 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1941
The evidence supported the verdict and the special assignments of error are without merit. The court did not err in overruling the motion for new trial.
1. Ground 1 complains of error in allowing a witness to testify to a material conversation between the accused and a third party as being hearsay. There is no merit in this contention.
2. Grounds 2 and 3 complain of the admission of evidence as to similar transactions involving the defendant. There is no merit in these grounds. Lee v. State,
3. Ground 4 complains that along with the records of former *50
convictions the court admitted other records of the sentences and of probation. The evidence was offered in bulk and only some of it was objectionable. The objection did not specify the objectionable documents from those which were not objectionable.M., D. S. R. Co. v. Anchors,
4. Ground 5 complains of an excerpt from the charge to the jury. This was not error when taken in connection with the entire charge.
5. Ground 6 assigns error on the failure of the court to charge a written request as follows: "I charge you, gentlemen, that the jury being the judges of the law and the facts are not bound to go by the charge which the court makes as to what is the law unless the charge truly states what the law is, and whether the charge does or not, the jury has a right to decide." The court correctly refused to give this request in charge. Rouse
v. State,
6. The evidence supported the verdict.
Judgment affirmed. Broyles, C. J., and MacIntyre, J.,concur.
