Per Curiam.

Defense counsel stated he has searched the record and ‍​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‍has been unable to discover anything properly assignable as error. As defense counsel requested, this Court has carefully ‍​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‍reviewed the record. We find the indictment in proper form, the evidence abundantly sufficient to make out a ‍​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‍case of murder in the second degree, and the prison sentence within the limits prescribed for the offense ‍​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‍charged. The defendant’s testimony that she acted in self-defense in firing the fatal shot is contradicted by all ‍​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‍other witnesses.

In the trial and judgment we find

No error.
