Colvin v. State
Alabama Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
PRICE, Judge.
Appellant was convicted of murder in the second degree. His punishment was fixed at ten years in the penitentiary.
This is the second appeal in this case. Colvin v. State, 37 Ala.App. 268, 70 So.2d. 650, certiorari denied 260 Ala. 338, 70 So.2d 654. The facts and circumstances surrounding the killing are fully set out in the opinion by Judge Harwood on the first appeal, and are adopted as the facts of this case.
The only point stressed in brief as a reason for reversal is the overruling of the motion for a new trial based on the ground the verdict is contrary to the evidence.
