Opinion

Webb, Judge.

Marion Hamilton was tried for the alleged murder of Tommy Lee Hall, the jury returned a verdict of guilty of voluntary manslaughter, and he received a sentence of eight years. His appeal is from the trial court’s denial of a motion for a new trial on general grounds.

The evidence was sufficient to justify the verdict, the charge of the court was proper, and we find no error. [466] Johnson v. State, 231 Ga. 138 (200 SE2d 734); Strickland v. State, 137 Ga. App. 419, 421 (224 SE2d 87).
