39 S.E.2d 659 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1946
1. "While it is the duty of a judge in the trial of a criminal case to state the contentions of both the State and the defendant, still, in the absence of a request for more definite instructions, a statement by the court that the grand jury has returned an indictment against the defendant, charging him with the offense . . [stated by the court], and that to this the defendant has filed a plea of not guilty, which makes the issue for them to try, sufficiently presents the issue."
2. The evidence authorized the verdict. The judge did not err in overruling the certiorari.
2. The defendant does not specifically argue or insist upon the general grounds; however, after careful consideration of the evidence, we are of the opinion that it authorized the verdict. The judge did not err in overruling the certiorari.
Judgment affirmed. Broyles, C. J., and Gardner, J., concur. *229
