The appellant, Orlander Taylor, was convicted of taking immoral, improper or indecent liberties with a child under sixteen years, in violation of Section 326(2) Title 14, Code of Alabama 1940.
The trial court charged the jury as follows:
We are of opinion that the court's reference to a board, body or persons with pardoning power requires a reversal of the judgment under the authority of McCray v. State, 261 Ala. 275, 74 So.2d 491, and Lawley v. State, 264 Ala. 283, 87 So.2d 433.
Reversed and remanded.
