224 So. 2d 357 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1969
Appellant was jointly tried with three codefendants under two indictments charging first degree murder, both of which indictments were joined for trial. The jury convicted him of manslaughter under each indictment and he directly appeals the judgments thereof.
All four of the codefendants were declared to be insolvent, and were each jointly represented by the same court-appointed attorney. The trial of this case was begun on September 11, 1967, and the verdicts were returned two days later.

The judgment and conviction appealed from should be, and it is,
Affirmed.
