McConnico v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama

Decided December 30, 1988PublishedCited by 9 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

The appellant was indicted by the Jefferson County grand jury for murder, in violation of § 13A-6-2, Code of Alabama (1975). The appellant was convicted of murder and was sentenced to a term of 30 years' imprisonment.

The appellant's sole contention is that the trial court erred in refusing to charge the jury as to the lesser included offenses of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. This Court finds that there was sufficient evidence which, if believed by the jury, would have reasonably supported a conviction for the lesser included offense of manslaughter.
