Walters v. StateWalters v. State
Versions:122 So. 189153 Miss. 7091929 Miss. LEXIS 99
The presumption of malice that goes with the use of a deadly weapon was completely overcome in this case by the eyewitnesses to the homicide. There was no material conflict in their evidence that the appellant committed the homicide in self-defense. There *710 fore there was no question for the jury to pass upon, and the court should have granted the appellant’s request for a directed verdict of not guilty.
Reversed, and appellant discharged.-
