113 So. 625 | Ala. Ct. App. | 1927
Lead Opinion
At the time defendant sought to prove a threat by the assaulted party against the defendant to which exception was reserved, there was no evidence tending to prove self-defense, or of an overt act on the part of the assaulted party. The ruling of the court was at that stage of the proceedings, without error. Moreover after evidence of self-defense had been introduced, defendant had the benefit of this evidence without objection.
The evidence offered on motion for new trial in support of the motion on the ground of newly discovered evidence was either cumulative or it was not shown that due diligence had been exercised in procuring same on the main trial.
No exceptions were reserved to the portions of the court's oral charge now insisted upon as error. Such questions may not be raised for the first time on motion for a new trial or an appeal. Valentine v. State,
We find no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
Addendum
The judgment of affirmance is set aside, the application granted, and the judgment appealed from is reversed, and the cause is remanded.
Reversed and remanded. *147
