State v. Goodson

The exceptions chiefly relied upon by appellants are directed to failure of the judge, in charging the jury upon the trial below, to “declare and explain the law arising on the evidence given in the case,” in accordance with requirements of G.S. 1-180, as amended by 1949 Session Laws, Chap. 107, in respect to right of each of them to avail herself of the right to fight in defense of herself, her family and her habitation.

A careful consideration of the evidence shown in the record leads this Court to conclude that these exceptions, assigned as error, are well taken. See S. v. Spruill, 225 N.C.…
