An appeal does not lie on behalf of the state or a municipality under section 19, Code of 1930, from a judgment
of acquittal based upon a directed verdict in favor of a defendant in a criminal case where the peremptory instruction in such case is granted because of the insufficiency of the evidence to sustain the charge made in the affidavit or indictment, even though the question involved on the ruling of the trial court may be a mixed one of law and fact.
