Watts v. State
Watts v. State
Opinion of the Court
No phase of the evidence indicates manslaughter; the defendant’s statement sets up nothing less than a complete justification; the trial judge very property declined to charge the law of voluntary manslaughter; and the jury, notwithstanding the instructions of the judge, having returned a verdict finding the defendant guilty of that offense, a new trial ought to have been granted. This proposition is so well settled by repeated rulings as to require no citation of authority.
Since there is to be another trial, we suggest that in the light
