1Opinion of the Court

Blackwell, Justice.

Aaron McClain was tried by a Newton County jury and convicted of murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of his wife, Betty Mulbah McClain, and the wounding of his 12-year-old stepdaughter, T.S.1 McClain appeals, contending that the evidence is legally insufficient to sustain his convictions, that the trial court erred when it failed to instruct the jury on the principle of accident and misfortune, and that the court erred when it admitted certain evidence at trial. After reviewing the record and briefs, we find no reversible error, and we affirm.
