Description
The petitioner, Nolen W. Russell, was indicted for the murder of his wife, Mary Shelton Russell. On the trial, the jury found petitioner guilty of murder in the second degree and fixed his sentence at not less than ten nor more than twenty years in the state penitentiary. Petitioners conviction was affirmed by the Court of Criminal Appeals in a unanimous opinion. Certiorari was granted by this court, primarily to consider whether the closing argument of the district attorney general was improper and, if so, was it prejudicial.
