People v. Gibson

This is an appeal from the conviction of the defendant, Joe Gibson, by the circuit court of Tazewell County on the charge of murder. The defendant was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than 25 years nor more than 40 years.

A number of errors have been assigned by the defendant as grounds for reversal, but we shall direct our attention to only those which we deem material which are as follows: (1) that the court erred in permitting the prosecution to impeach defense witnesses by eliciting inadmissible evidence, and (2) that the Court erred in instructing the jury.

The law is well…
