## Opinion text

McEWAN, Justice
(concurring).
I approve of all of the majority opinion with the exception of that portion under the heading “Mrs. Simms’ Testimony,” and with that portion I concur. The defendant did not make any contention nor did he point out where any of the testimony given by the wife was detrimental or prejudicial to him. I have examined the record and find nothing in the wife’s testimony that appears to be detrimental to him. Her testimony is consistent with the defendant’s theory of the case; that is, self defense.
