Shaffer v. State

Supreme Court of Alabama

Decided June 20, 1918No. 6 Div. 698PublishedCited by 7 opinions

Appeal from Circuit Court, Jefferson County ; Wm. E. Fort, Judge. Earl Shaffer was convicted of murder, and he appeals.

1Opinion of the CourtMayfield, J.

Appellant was indicted and convicted of the murder of one Arthur Chandler by cutting him with a knife, and from the judgment of conviction and sentence of death, he prosecutes this appeal.

After a careful examination of the transcript, we find in the record proper no error which would work a reversal. The minute entries all appear to conform to the statutory requirements as to such entries in capital cases. We have as the statute directs searched the record for reversible errors, but find none, though counsel for defendant have filed an appealing and able brief for the defendant.
