Court | Georgia Supreme Court |
CRIMINAL LAW—ARRAIGNMENT—WAIVER-GAMING—EVIDENCE.
1. It being expressly declared in Pol. Code 1895, § 10, that "a person may waive or renounce what the law has established in his favor, when he does not thereby injure others or affect the public interest, " one indicted for a criminal offense may waive formal arraignment; and this he must be held to intend to do by his silent acquiescence, if, before the case is submitted to a jury on its merits, he does not bring to the attention of the court that he has not been formally called upon to enter a plea to the indictment. See Bryans v. State, 34 Ga. 323, 325. Maxwell's Crim. Proc. (2d Ed.) 579, note 3.
1. See Criminal Law, vol. 14, Cent, Dig. §§ 614, 615, 617.
2. As, in the present ease, the accused got the full benefit of a fair and impartial trial before a jury, and the evidence introduced by the state affirmatively showed that he had been guilty of gaming, as charged in the indictment, within two years prior to the finding thereof, his conviction should be sustained.
