People v. Ahern
California Supreme Court · Decided March 3, 1892
93 Cal. 518; 29 P. 49; 1892 Cal. LEXIS 592

People v. Ahern

Opinion of the Court

The Court.

Defendant was convicted of the crime of robbery, and appeals from the judgment and order denying his motion for a new trial.

The evidence is sufficient to support the verdict, and we find no merit in the assignment of errors of law. If the defendant desired to have the jury instructed as to the definition of reasonable doubt, it was his duty to have asked for such instruction. (People v. Christensen, 85 Cal. 571.)

Let the judgment and order be affirmed.
