Parker v. State

Opinion of the Court

Lindsay, J.

—We have carefully examined the record in this case, and can discover no error committed by either the judge or jury, to'the prejudice of the appellant, which renders it necessary to change the judgment and sentence of the court. There was sufficient proof in the cause, legally introduced, to establish the guilt of the prisoner, as found by the jury, and we do not feel authorized to disturb the verdict of the jury and sentence of the court. The judgment is therefore

Aeeirmed.

Syllabus
Where there is no evidence of justification of a homicide, it is not error to tell the jury that the law of justification is not applicable. (Paschal’s Dig., Arts. 2225-2230.) Where there is sufficient evidence to convict, the verdict will not be disturbed. *
