46 S.E.2d 847 | N.C. | 1948
The defendant was charged with carnal knowledge of a girl under sixteen years of age in violation of G.S.,
The jury returned verdict of guilty as charged, and from judgment thereon the defendant appealed.
The State's evidence, which seems to have been accepted by the jury, was sufficient to support the verdict and judgment. S. v. Houpe,
The defendant's request after the close of the testimony that the State's witness be examined by a physician to ascertain the status of the expected child was addressed to the discretion of the trial judge, and his ruling thereon under the circumstances of the case will not be held for error. Moyle v. Hopkins,
The issue before the court and jury was whether the defendant committed the act as charged in the bill. Time was not of the essence. The date was not capitally important. S. v. Williams,
The defendant's exception to the judge's charge to the jury in respect to his statement of the contentions of the defendant is without merit. S.v. Jessup,
In the trial we find
No error.
