| View Entry | 1871 | H. T. Turner v. State | Carter | Murder |
Plaintiff in error is accused of aiding and abetting Samuel Fair who is accused of murdering George Shell with a pocket knife. The murder appears to be the result of an argument and several minor altercations during a corn shucking event. Turner is appealing his conviction on the grounds that the jurors only convicted him after agreeing to sign a petition asking the governor for his pardon. |
