Description
TILFORD, Chief Justice. The appellants, together with Ernest McKenzie and two other men, were jointly indicted for Grand Larceny. McKenzie pleaded guilty, the appellants were convicted and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, and the cases of the other two defendants were continued. Although they made confessions, both oral and written, of their guilt, and did not take the stand to deny it, appellants insist that they were entitled to directed verdicts of acquittal because their confessions were obtained in violation of KRS 422.110, known as the 'AntiSweating' Act, and, in any event, did not warrant a conviction since they were not 'accompanied with other proof that such an offense was committed', as required by Section 240, Criminal Code of Practice.
