Appeal by State on JP Indictment Denied by Judge
The state lost its appeal of a ruling by Intermediate Judge William J. Thompson ruling one misdemeanor indictment against Justice of the Peace H. L. Jarrell faulty for being under the wrong statute. Circuit Judge Frank L. Taylordenied the state a writ of error. The April grand jury returned two misdemeanor indictments against Jarrell. One was dismissed for venue and the other for misapplied section. Jarrell was reindicted on the latter charge for issuing a fee bill to Albert Slater for 5.50, though Slater was not chargeable. There was no new indictment over a fee bill for services not rendered and county billing of 3.50. Thompson held the code section on penalties for improper charges should have governed the indictment. Taylor also said the indictment failed to present the overcharge issue in a criminal case payable by county or state.
