Mills v. Commonwealth

Opinion op the Court by

Judge Siler

Affirming.

James Mills, the appellant, was convicted of the voluntary manslaughter of Maxie G-reen. Punishment was fixed at 10 years in the penitentiary. Thereupon, Mills perfected this appeal.

Appellant now contends that the trial court’s judgment should be reversed because the following prejudi cial errors were committed on this trial, viz: (1) certain verbal information in relation to a legal question was given by the court to a juror upon submission of the case; (2) appellant’s motion for directed verdict was overruled; (3) an excessive verdict was rendered.
