State v. George

DIXON, Justice. Edward George was tried by a jury and convicted of the crime of aggravated battery. R.S. 14:34. He was sentenced to imprisonment for one year. Defendant has perfected no bills of exceptions, but argues in his brief that a written statement made by him was erroneously admitted as evidence at his trial. Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure, article 920, provides: “The following matters and no others shall be considered on appeal: “(1) Formal bills of exceptions that have been submitted to and signed by the trial court in accordance with Article 845, whether or not the bills of exceptions were made a ground for a motion for a new trial; and “(2) Any error that is discoverable by a mere inspection of the pleadings and *182 proceedings and without inspection of the evidence.” An inspection of the pleadings and proceedings has revealed no reversible error. Defendant’s conviction and sentence are affirmed.
