Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law — Assignments of Error Must be Predicated on Objections and Exceptions to Rulings. Accused While Voluntary Witness for Self May Be Cross-Examined Though the Questions Tend to Criminate Him.</p> <p>1. Assignments of error must be predicated upon objections duly presented at the trial and upon exceptions there duly taken to the rulings of the court, else they cannot be considered by the appellate court.</p> <p>2. Where an accused on trial voluntarily offers himself as a witness on his own behalf, he thereby voluntarily subjects himself to any legitimate cross-examination, whether such cross-examination tends to criminate him or not.</p>
