Nebraska Supreme Court December 30, 1922, No. 22681 (Markiewicz v. State)

Flansburg, J.

The defendant was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life-imprisonment. He interposed the plea of self-defense. It is his contention that the evidence shows the killing took place upon a sudden quarrel, and does not, in any event, justify a conviction of any greater offense than manslaughter.
