Monroe v. State

Cobb, J.

The evidence for the State was not sufficiently strong against the plaintiffs in error to more than raise a suspicion that they were guilty of participation in the alleged larceny. This being so, and the uncontradicted evidence in their behalf tending strongly to show their innocence, the verdict of guilty was wholly unwarranted, and a new trial should have been granted. Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring.
