Jones v. State

34 S.E. 205, 110 Ga. 252, 1899 Ga. LEXIS 493

Opinion

Fish, J.

Where, upon the trial of one charged with stabbing, counsel for the accused, in his argument to the jury, asserted that if the prosecutor applied a certain vile epithet to the accused he would be justified in killing the prosecutor, it was not erroneous for the pre- . siding judge to interpose and state in the presence of the jury that there was no such law — that no opprobrious words, or abusive language, could justify a man in killing another.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
