Concurring Opinion
Jackson, J.
As pointed out in previous opinions, concurring and majority, this Court does not weigh the evidence adduced in the trial court, nor does it seek to substitute its judgment for that of the court or jury trying the cause below. The court has consistently taken the position that it was the duty of this Court, on appeal, to examine the evidence to see whether or not there was sufficient evidence of probative value to sustain the judgment of the trial court.
In the case at bar the jury, after hearing the evidence, found the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree. Such determination was within their province and I concur in the result reached by the majority opinion.
I do not approve of the language of the majority opinion.
