Cooper v. State

CATES, Judge.

Cooper has appealed his conviction of grand larceny of a truck; the judgment includes a sentence of two and one-half years in the penitentiary.

The defendant did not testify.

During argument at the close of the evidence, the court reporter’s transcript shows:

“During the arguments of counsel to the jury the following objections and rulings of the court were made:

“Mr. Turner: I object and move for a mistrial because Mr. Gilmore in arguing the case said, ‘If I had been him I would have got up here and said “I quit right now”.’

*309“Judge Pelham: I overrule the objection and deny the motion.
