Gillyard v. State

Joe Gillyard was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death, and seeks relief here from this judgment and sentence. His *323third assignment is as follows: “Because the court erred in not granting the defendant a new trial because of his giving in charge to the jury the charges contained in the general charge of the court numbered four, five, ten, thirteen and sixteen.”

The only exception taken to any of the portions of the general charge upon which this assignment is based is in the motion for a new trial, under the provisions of Section 1500 of the General Statutes of 1906.…
