Opinion

November 9, 1943

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Sarasota County, W.T. Harrison, Judge.

Frank Redd, for appellant.

J. Tom Watson, Attorney General, John C. Wynn, Assistant Attorney General, and Bourke Floyd, Special Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of murder in the second degree. On appeal, he contends that the judgment should be reversed because he acted in self defense and that the evidence does not support his conviction.

We have examined the record and find ample support for the judgment. It is affirmed on authority of Williams v. State, 148 Fla. 87, 3 So.2d 721.

Affirmed.

BUFORD, C. J., CHAPMAN AND ADAMS, JJ., concur.
