Jenkins v. State
244 S.E.2d 868; 241 Ga. 212; 1978 Ga. LEXIS 994
(South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)
Jenkins v. State
Opinion
The jury found the defendant guilty of murder. On appeal he urges solely that he should be granted a new trial on the general grounds.
There was evidence from which the jury was authorized to find that the defendant shot his girl friend three times with a .38 caliber revolver. Although the defendant was the only eyewitness who testified at trial, the jury was not required to believe his self-defense testimony. The fact that he sought help for the victim does not disprove malice at the time of the shooting. The *213 evidence supports the verdict.
Judgment affirmed.
