Sanders v. State Indiana

TREMAIN, J. The appellant was charged by affidavit of the crime of sodomy as defined by § 10-4221, Burns' 1933, § 2603, Baldwin's 1934, to which he pleaded not guilty. A trial by a jury resulted in a verdict of guilty, upon which the court rendered judgment. A motion for a new trial was overruled. On appeal the appellant relies upon the specifications that the verdict of the jury is not sustained by sufficient evidence and is contrary to law; that the court erred in giving instruction No. 3 on its own motion and in refusing instruction No. 7 tendered by appellant, and in refusing to permit the appellant to call additional witnesses to establish defendant's general reputation for morality and chastity.
