Supreme Court of Georgia March 18, 1922, No. 2847 (Jackson v. State)

I-Iill, J.

Frank Jackson was convicted of the murder of his wife by cutting her with a pocket-knife. He made a motion for a new trial on the usual general grounds, and because the -court failed to charge the jury on the law of voluntary manslaughter upon a written request therefor, and also because the court’s charge on the law of self-defense was not full enough.
