Judge Britt
dissenting:
While the jury charge in this case would not qualify as a model charge in that it did not contain the refinements in defining “aiding and abetting”, when the charge is considered as a *53whole, I think it presented the ease to the jury in a manner that was fair to the defendant. The evidence against defendant was overwhelming as is indicated by the fact that within fifteen minutes after they received the case, the jury returned a verdict of guilty as charged. In my opinion, the error in the charge complained of was not sufficiently prejudicial to defendant to warrant a new trial. I vote to let the verdict and judgment stand.
