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 — Burnettfield
Burnett, J., delivered the opinion of the Court—Field, J., concurring.
The defendant was convicted of grand larceny. The only error assigned is that the testimony did not justify the verdict.
The rule is well settled that where there is no legal testimony to sustain the verdict, it will be set aside; but where the testimony is conflicting, or where the credibility of witnesses must be passed upon, it is a matter solely for the jury to determine. In this case, we think the jury might have found the defendant guilty or not guilty, and the Court would not have been justified in granting a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
