Nevalene POE, Appellant, v. COMMONWEALTH of Kentucky, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Kentucky.

June 6, 1958.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Moore & Morrow, Franklin & Franklin, Carroll S. Franklin, Madisonville, for appellant.

Jo M. Ferguson, Atty. Gen., David B. Sebree, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.


CAMMACK, Judge.

On her first trial Nevalene Poe was convicted of voluntary manslaughter for shooting Will Pollard and sentenced to prison for two years. We reversed that judgment because of improper instructions. See Poe v. Commonwealth, Ky., 301 S.W.2d 900. Upon her second trial Mrs. Poe was again convicted of voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to prison for 21 years. This appeal is from that judgment.
