Supreme Court of Arkansas January 15, 1852 (Holeman v. State)

Mr. Chief Justice Johnson

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The verdict of the jury is unsupported by the evidence adduced on the part of the prosecution. The circumstances, upon which the State relied and upon which the finding was based, were of the most flimsy and unsatisfactory character, and could not, by any rational rule of construction, warrant a verdict of guilty.
