Simmons v. State
168 Tex. Crim. 574
Simmons v. State
Opinion of the Court
This is a conviction for murder; the punishment, ten years in the penitentiary.
That appellant killed the deceased by shooting him with a gun is not disputed.
This defensive theory was pertinently submitted by the trial court in his charge to the jury, and by the jury rejected. Such rejection was within the province of the jury.
No errors appearing, and the facts authorizing the jury’s conclusion of guilt, the judgment is affirmed.
