State v. Cravens

OPINION

HARBISON, Chief Justice.

Appellee was convicted of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He appealed to the Court of Criminal Appeals, and that court overruled all of the issues presented except one pertaining to the jury instructions. The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed and ordered a new trial because of error in the instructions concerning the issue of malice. After careful consideration, we are of the opinion that there was no reversible error in the questioned instructions. Accordingly we reinstate the judgment of the trial court.

There is no question…
