Alabama Court of Appeals November 17, 1964, 1 Div. 979 (Leonard v. State)

CATES, Judge.

Found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and given nine years imprisonment, Leonard appeals.

Leonard undisputedly shot his son-in-law, Wesley White. He claims that he did so in self defense.

No lights were on about ten o’clock at night. Mr. and Mrs. White were in bed.

Leonard came up to the screened front porch of the White home. He said that he wanted to talk to White.
