Merritt v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Appeal from the District Court of Parker. Tried below before Hon. J. W. Patterson. Appeal from a conviction for manslaughter; penalty, four years imprisonment in the penitentiary. This is the second appeal in this case (see Merritt v. State, 39 Texas Criminal Reports, 70), and the facts on this appeal being in the main the same as were presented on the former appeal, renders a further statement unnecessary.
1Opinion of the Court
HENDERSON, Judge.
Appellant was convicted of manslaughter, and his punishment assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for a term of four years, and he prosecutes this appeal.
This case was before this court at a former term, and was reversed on account of the improper admission of certain testimony, and the exclusion of certain competent testimony offered by appellant, and also because the charge of the court was not full enough when applied to the facts. The statement of the case is about the same as on the former trial, to which reference is here made. See Merritt v. State, 39 Texas Crim.…
