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 — Cope

Cope, J. delivered the opinion of the Court Baldwin, J. concurring.

The judgment in this case must be reversed. There was some evidence tending to show that the defendant was assaulted by the party injured and several other persons, and what was said by these persons at the time of the assault, illustrative of its object, and the motive which prompted it, was a part of the res gestee, and should have been admitted in evidence.

Judgment reversed and cause remanded for a new trial.
