Clark v. State

Grice, Justice.

Two questions, whether the verdict was supported by evidence and whether certain articles should have been admitted in evidence, are for determination in this appeal.

These questions arise from the trial of Thomas Clark in the Superior Court of Decatur County for the slaying of his wife’s sister and two of her grandparents. Clark entered a plea of not guilty and sought to establish the defense of insanity at the time of the homicides. Upon his conviction of murder with a recommendation, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

We deal with the questions in the order set forth above.
