137 Ga. 784 | Ga. | 1912
Tom Trice was indicted for the murder of Henry Clark, and was tried and convicted, with the recommendation that his punishment be imprisonment in the penitentiary for life. A
We have examined the evidence carefully; and while there is evidence to show that the deceased had a pair of brass knucks on his hand when found dead, perfectly nude, shortly after the homicide, and that the defendant had a wound on his head, made by some sharp, or semi-sharp instrument, yet we are of the opinion that the evidence is amply sufficient to support the verdict of guilty of murder, and that the court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
