Opinion

52430.

SUBMITTED JULY 15, 1976.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 7, 1976.

Voluntary manslaughter. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Williams.

Jack Dorsey, for appellant.

Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, Joseph J. Drolet, Wallace Speed, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.

WEBB, Judge.

Ernest Lee Kilgore on charges of murder and aggravated assault was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault, for which he received sentences of twenty and five years, respectively, the latter to run concurrently with the former. He appeals, contending that the evidence did not support the verdicts.

The evidence was amply sufficient to support the verdicts and, the jury having determined the issue, the verdicts will not be disturbed. Strickland v. State, 137 Ga. App. 419, 421 ( 224 S.E.2d 87); Johnson v. State, 138 Ga. App. 431 ( 226 S.E.2d 291).

Likewise, there was no error in the trial court's limiting cross examination to relevant matters. McGinty v. State, 134 Ga. App. 399, 405 (5) ( 214 S.E.2d 678).

Judgment affirmed. Deen, P. J., and Quillian, J., concur.

WEBB, Judge.
