State v. . Creed
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided April 19, 1916 · PER CURIAM.
78 S.E. 167; 171 N.C. 837; 1916 N.C. LEXIS 193 (South Eastern Reporter)

State v. . Creed

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The principal exception relied on by the defendant is that he was only 18 years of age at the time of the commission of the alleged crime; but the authorities are that, being of marriageable age (Revisal, sec. 2082), he is indictable and responsible for the crime. 35 Cye., 1335.

The earnestness of counsel for the defendant and his confidence in the innocence of his client impressed us, but there is no error upon the record which will justify us in ordering a new trial.

No error.
