Scherpig v. State

LATTIMORE, Judge.

Conviction for murder, punishment five years in the penitentiary.

The sole complaint which we notice is that the court declined to submit the law- of manslaughter. This court has not seen fit to change its mind relative to the necessity of charging on manslaughter in cases whose facts properly call for a jury’s decision upon that issue, since we wrote in the cases of Steen v. State, 88 Tex. Crim. Rep. 256; McKaskle v. State, 260 S. W. 588; Ward v. State, 96 Tex. Crim. Rep. 278; Lewis v. State, 98 Tex. Crim. Rep. 337; Coulter v. State, 276 S. W. 432; Garland v. State, 291 S. W.…
