Andrews v. State

Opinion of the Court

Luke, J.

The defendant was indicted for the offense .of murder and was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the commission of an unlawful act. He was fortunate in that he was not convicted of a higher grade of homicide. The evidence authorized the jury to find that the defendant, without excuse, shot into a crowd and hit and killed a human being. For no reason assigned was it error to overrule the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, C. J., and Bloodworlh, J., concur.
