Finley v. State
Decision Date | 17 April 1951 |
Docket Number | 4 Div. 171 |
Citation | 36 Ala.App. 56,52 So.2d 167 |
Parties | FINLEY v. STATE. |
Court | Alabama Court of Appeals |
Grady G. Cleveland, Jr., of Eufaula, for appellant.
Si Garrett, Atty. Gen., and Thos. F. Parker, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
This appellant has been convicted of larceny of a steer.
The evidence tending to show appellant's guilt was direct and abundant.
The only point of any materiality disclosed by the record arises out of the following recital in the record:
Because a prospective juror is engaged in a particular business or occupation in no way imports absolute bias on his part, and falls far short of reasonably creating any disqualification. Certainly no abuse of discretion on the part of the trial judge can be read into his action on the basis of the facts disclosed by the record. See Alabama Fuel & Iron Co. v. Powaski, 232 Ala. 66, 166 So. 782, and cases cited; Carnaggio v. State, 143 Miss. 694, 109 So. 732; Boyle v. People, 4 Colo. 176, 34 Am.Rep. 76; State v. Van Hoozer, 192 Iowa 818, 185 N.W. 588.
Affirmed.
