Decision Date | 13 June 1944 |
Docket Number | 7 Div. 733. |
Citation | 31 Ala.App. 483,18 So.2d 803 |
Parties | MOORE v STATE. |
Court | Alabama Court of Appeals |
Rehearing Denied June 27, 1944.
Appeal from Circuit Court, Talladega County; R. B. Carr Judge.
The following charges were refused to defendant:
John J. Pruet, of Ashland, for appellant.
Wm N. McQueen, Acting Atty. Gen., and Forman Smith, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
Appellant, tried jointly with one Austin Brown, under an indictment charging them with the offense of murder in the first degree, was convicted of the offense of manslaughter in the first degree and his punishment fixed at imprisonment in the penitentiary for the term of ten years. Austin Brown was acquitted.
Appellant offered no testimony. That offered on behalf of the State--consisting in large part of testimony as to a "confession" by appellant--was to the undisputed effect that appellant killed one Paul Sanders by cutting him with a knife, which we know to be a deadly weapon.
As we said in the opinion in the case of Coates v. State, 29 Ala.App. 616, 199 So. 830, and in the opinion in the case of Grays v. State, 28 Ala.App. 394, 185...
