Herring v. State
Herring v. State
Opinion of the Court
The defendant appeals his conviction for armed robbery. His sole enumeration of error is directed to the trial court’s refusal to grant his request to charge the jury that a person is not guilty of a crime if he acts "under such coercion that [he] reasonably believes that performing the act is the only way to prevent a third persons [sic] imminent death or bodily harm.” (Emphasis supplied.) Held:
The defense of coercion, as set forth in Code Ann. §
Judgment affirmed.
