390 S.W.2d 648 (1965)

Katherine Louise KAENZIG, Appellant, v. COMMONWEALTH of Kentucky, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Kentucky.

May 14, 1965.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David Van Horn, Lexington, for appellant.

Robert Matthews, Atty. Gen., John B. Browning, Asst. Atty. Gen., Frankfort, for appellee.


HILL, Judge.

This is an appeal from a verdict and judgment of the Fayette Circuit Court finding the appellant, Katherine Kaenzig, guilty of voluntary manslaughter and fixing her punishment at confinement in the State Penitentiary for four years.

The appellant contends that in a murder prosecution, where the evidence points to self-defense, the court's failure to give a self-defense instruction is reversible error.
