OPINION

BYERS, Judge.

The Appellant was convicted of murder in the second (2nd) degree and sentenced to serve thirty (30) years in the penitentiary.

The Appellant says the evidence does not support the verdict, that photographs of the deceased at the scene of the occurrence were improperly admitted into evidence, that evidence and exhibits concerning undisputed issues should not have been allowed to be introduced and the State’s attorneys should not have attempted to instruct the jury on the law during voir dire.

The assignments of error are overruled and the judgment is affirmed.
