Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion
Defendant was informed against for the crime of rape. He was tried and convicted of the offense charged in the information. Thereafter he made a motion for a new trial and in arrest of judgment, which motions were denied. Defendant prosecutes this appeal from the judgment.
The sole contention in the case is that the evidence is insufficient to support the verdict of the jury. We cannot agree with this contention. The nature of the evidence is such that we will refrain from stating it in detail. It is sufficient to say that the story told by the prosecutrix on the witness-stand as to the circumstances of the commission of the offense is not at all improbable. Moreover, it was corroborated in several essential respects by other witnesses, and particularly by a letter written by the defendant while in jail to the parents of the prosecutrix.
The judgment is affirmed.
