Decision Date | 10 April 1939 |
Docket Number | 33537. |
Citation | 187 So. 755 |
Court | Mississippi Supreme Court |
Parties | ROBERDS v. STATE. |
Appeal from Circuit Court, Amite County; R. E. Bennett, Judge.
" Not to be reported in State Reports."
J. D. Roberds was charged with a crime. From the judgment rendered, he appeals.
Affirmed.
R. B. Reeves, of McComb, for appellant.
Greek L. Rice, Atty. Gen., and Russell Wright, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
The question of identification was one for the jury. Coleman et al. v. State, 155 Miss. 482, 124 So. 652; Bryant v. State, 172 Miss. 210, 157 So. 346. The testimony of Mr. and Mrs. Hancock identifying the Smiths in the absence of appellant was admissible. The evidence tended to show that appellant and the Smiths were accomplices in the commission of the crime. Furthermore, the objection to the testimony was general and not specific. The ground of the objection should have been pointed out to the court. We are of the opinion that there is no merit in any of the assignments of error.
Affirmed.
