Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas November 14, 1928, No. 11970. (Ramsey v. State)

lead-opinion

LATTIMORE, Judge.

Conviction for manslaughter; punishment, two years in the penitentiary.

Appellant did not deny that he shot and killed deceased, but claimed such act to have been the direct result of an inflamed and agitated mind incapable of cool reflection, a claim seemingly upheld by the verdict of the jury finding him guilty only of manslaughter.
