Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas November 21, 1927, No. 11151. (McCoy v. State)

lead-opinion

LATTIMORE, Judge.

Conviction for manslaughter, punishment four years in the penitentiary.

Appellant relied on self-defense and insulting conduct toward his wife. The verdict being only for manslaughter, evinces the jury’s acceptance of his claim that he killed deceased at the first meeting after learning of the supposed illicit relations between deceased and appellant’s wife.
