Capers v. State

Russell, C. J.,

dissenting. To my mind there is, as to the present defendant, no circumstance corroborating the testimony of the accomplice, of the evidential character required by the ruling of this court in Childers v. State, 52 Ga. 106, and numerous deciions following it; no circumstance which, independently of the testimony of the accomplice, tends to show the guilt of the accused. I am therefore of the opinion that the judge erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.
