Gipson v. State

OPINION

GREEN, Commissioner.

Appellant was tried in one trial before a jury on his pleas of not guilty on three separate indictments charging, respectively, rape, robbery with firearms, and murder with malice of Zelphia Daniel Childs. He was found guilty of robbery by assault, and of murder with malice, but the jury failed to agree with respect to the charge of rape, and was dismissed as to that case. The court set the punishment at 100 years in each of the other cases. These appeals are from such convictions.

Appellant does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdicts…
