• 64 Fla. 95

Syllabus

<p>1. In a prosecution for homicide where self defense is an issue and the defendant has testified as to his belief of his danger from the deceased, it is not error to exclude the testimony of the accused that the deceased “could have cut me if I had waited any longer to shoot him” since the circumstances were in evidence and the conclusions of fact were to be deduced therefrom by the jury.</p> <p>2. Where the evidence is conflicting, but there is ample evidence to support the verdict, and no material errors of law appear, the judgment will be affirmed.</p>
