APPEAL FROM TENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF NATCHITOCHES, STATE OF LOUISIANA, HONORABLE PEYTON CUNNINGHAM, JR., J.
Gahagan Kelly, Henry C. Gahagan, Jr., Natchitoches, for defendant-appellant.
William J. Guste, Jr., Atty. Gen., LeRoy A. Hartley, Sp. Asst. Atty. Gen., Ronald C. Martin, Dist. Atty., Charles R. Whitehead, Jr., Asst. Dist. Atty., for plaintiff-appellee.
Edward George was tried by a jury and convicted of the crime of aggravated battery. R.S. 14:34. He was sentenced to imprisonment for one year.
Defendant has perfected no bills of exceptions, but argues in his brief that a written statement made by him was erroneously admitted as evidence at his trial.
Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure, article 920, provides:
"The following matters and no others shall be considered on appeal:
"(1) Formal bills of exceptions that have been submitted to and signed by the trial court in accordance with Article 845, whether or not the bills of exceptions were made a ground for a motion for a new trial; and
"(2) Any error that is discoverable by a mere inspection of the pleadings and proceedings and without inspection of the evidence."
An inspection of the pleadings and proceedings has revealed no reversible error.
Defendant's conviction and sentence are affirmed.
