Description
The sufficiency of the evidence is not challenged and we do not deem it necessary to set forth all the facts. The record does show that the deceased, Grover Cecil Steward, died from massive bleeding resulting from multiple stab wounds inflicted by the appellant in the front yard of the deceaseds house at approximately 3 p.m. on November 30, 1966. The States testimony reflects that approximately one week prior to the killing appellant, in presence of witnesses, displayed a knife, identified as the murder weapon, and threatened to kill the deceased with the same, and further stated he had a pistol if he was unsuccessful with a knife. Such threats were shown to have been communicated to the deceased. Other States testimony reflects that when the appellant entered the yard just prior to the killing the deceased told him to "stay out" and fired a shotgun into the ground approximately 30 degrees away from appellants position. Thereafter it appears that appellant with a knife in hand advanced on the deceased, a struggle ensued and the stab wounds resulted. Appellants claim of self-defense was rejected by the jurys verdict.
