Dunkin v. State

The plaintiff in error, hereinafter called defendant, was convicted in the district court of Payne county of the larceny of domestic fowls, and his punishment fixed by the jury at a fine of $100, and imprisonment in the county jail for a term of 30 days.

Defendant assigns numerous grounds of error, but for the purpose of disposing of this appeal it will only be necessary to consider one, viz.: That the closing argument of the county attorney was prejudicial and unfair, and was an appeal to the passion and prejudice of the jury, and prevented the defendant from having a fair and impartial trial.
