Description

Defendant was found guilty by a jury of first degree murder and the jury imposed a life sentence. The charge arose from an indictment. For some months prior to trial and at the trial defendant was represented by an attorney privately employed; he had previously had other counsel, presumably appointed, who was permitted to withdraw. Counsel filed a motion for new trial containing 47 assignments of supposed error, but has chosen not to brief the case here. We shall consider on the merits those which are sufficient under Criminal Rule 27.20. Many of these do not set forth with particularity any specific grounds or causes for a new trial and they will be disregarded; this includes assignments 1-10, inclusive, and 45. We have explained so many times the requirements of this rule that we shall not lengthen this opinion further by quoting or describing these assignments. After the overruling of that motion defendant was permitted to appeal as a poor person. Where assignments of a like nature may be discussed as a group, we shall follow that method.
