Steele v. Commonwealth

Opinion op the Court by

Judge Clarke

Reversing.

Appellant has been tried three times for killing Alonzo Bledsoe. The first trial resulted in a hung jury. Upon a second trial, he was convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced to five years’ confinement in the penitentiary. That judgment was reversed by this court in an opinion reported in 192 Ky. 223, 232 S. W. 646, where a full statement of the evidence for .and against the defendant may be found. Upon substantially the same evidence, and under instructions conforming to that opinion, defendant was again convicted of manslaughter on the last trial.
