April 21, 1981.
NESS, Justice.
Appellant Ronald John Somerset was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. We affirm.
Appellant asserts the trial court erred in failing to include a verdict of not guilty in its forms of verdict. We disagree.
Although the better practice is to submit a verdict of not guilty, the law to be charged must be determined from the evidence presented. State v. Rogers, S.C.
