1Opinion of the Court
COLE, Judge.
Defendant, Charlie Jackson, Jr., was charged by grand jury indictment with the second degree murder of Percy Tillotson, a violation of La.R.S. 14:30.1. Defendant pled not guilty and waived trial by jury. He was found guilty as charged and sentenced to life imprisonment without benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence. Defendant now appeals, urging as his sole assignment of error that the verdict of second degree murder was contrary to the law and the evidence, because the state’s evidence was insufficient to establish the killing was not committed in self-defense.
