  1. Smith v. State

    235 S.E.2d 44 (Ga. Ct. App. 1977)   Cited 3 times

    The questions of whether the victim's actions were sufficient provocation for the attack or whether the defendant was justified in believing it necessary to use deadly force in self-defense are within the province of the jury to decide. See Jeffers v. State, 129 Ga. App. 712 ( 201 S.E.2d 161) (1973); Amerson v. State, 18 Ga. App. 176 ( 88 S.E. 998) (1916). The evidence was sufficient to sustain a verdict, which will therefore be affirmed.
