The opinion
I am in some doubt as to the gravity of the error in the charge for giving of which my associates think this case should be reversed, but this is a death penalty case, and upon the point involved may turn the taking by law of the life of a human being, and I find myself unwilling to go to the length of filling a dissent, hence concur in the reversal.
