32 Fla. 251 | Fla. | 1893
The plaintiff in error was indicted, tried and convicted at the Spring term, 1893, of the Circuit Court for Marion county of murder in the first degree with recommendation to mercy, and sentenced to the State prison for life. Upon the overruling of his motion for a new trial below he brings the cause here by writ of error.
The sole ground urged here by the plaintiff in error for a reversal of the judgment and sentence is, that the court below erred in charging the jury: “that testimo-nypending to show an alibi was not to be considered unless it established the fact by a preponderance of evidence.” We have examined the charges given by the court to the jury carefully but fail to find in the record here any such charge, nor anything in any of them that even intimates any such doctrine. But even if there was, we can not find that any of the charges .given by the court were excepted to in any way whatsoever, which, under the well established rule here, would preclude us from considering them.
No exceptions were taken during the trial upon which errors have been assigned, consequently we can not consider any assignment of error based upon alleged erroneous rulings during the progress of the trial to which no exception was taken or noted,. We have carefully considered the entire record and find no error therein that would justify any inteference with
The judgment and sentence of the court below is, therefore, affirmed.
