SPANN v. STATE

No. CR 96-733.

944 S.W.2d 537 (1997)

328 Ark. 509

David SPANN, Appellant, v. STATE of Arkansas, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Arkansas.

May 12, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William R. Simpson, Jr., Public Defender, Jeffrey A. Weber, Little Rock, for Appellant.

Winston Bryant, Attorney General, J. Brent Standridge, Assistant Attorney General, Little Rock, for Appellee.

BROWN, Justice.

Appellant David Spann was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. He raises two points on appeal: (1) the trial court erred by allowing the prosecutor to inform the jury about parole eligibility in the penalty phase; and (2) the trial court erred in refusing to give an instruction on voluntary manslaughter. Both points are meritless, and we affirm.
