Thompson v. State
7 S.E.2d 189 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1940
The accused was convicted of the offense of fornication and adultery. The evidence tending to connect her with such a crime was wholly circumstantial, and, while raising a strong suspicion of her guilt, was not sufficient to exclude every other reasonable hypothesis. The verdict was unauthorized, and the refusal to grant a new trial was error.
Judgment reversed. MacIntyre and Guerry, JJ.,concur.
