Ellis v. State

Carley, Judge.

Appellant was indicted for murder. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of voluntary manslaughter. Appellant’s motion for new trial was denied and he appeals.

1. In two related enumerations of error, appellant raises the general grounds. Our review of the record demonstrates that “appellant may not successfully contend that the evidence does not support his conviction, because he affirmatively offered the alternative theory of voluntary manslaughter to the jury.” Speights v.
