Opinion:
Hill, C. J.
Por the trial judge to state, in the hearing of the jury on the trial of a criminal ease, that if the defendant did not put in any evidence he would direct a verdict against the defendant, is manifest error, and imperatively requires the grant of a new trial, however conclusive the evidence establishing guilt. Penal Code, § 1032.
Judgment reversed.
