Description
The appellant was convicted of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to death. Among many objections made during the
trial the main ones relate to the selection of the jury, the denial of a request for a change of venue, and the court's instructions
to the jury. It is apparent from the record that news about the crime and its investigation had been extensively reported in the press
and by radio and television. Many veniremen who had formed opinions on the basis of such reports were excused by the court,
but the appellant insists that four jurors whom he challenged for cause should also have been rejected. Each of these four
men stated in substance that he had formed an opinion about the case and that evidence would be required to remove his opinion,
but upon further questioning each man also declared that he could lay aside his preconceived view and try the case impartially
upon the law and the evidence.
