The opinion
MAYFIELD, Justice
(dissenting).
The chief prosecuting officer for the State is prohibited from doing by indirection that which he is barred from doing directly. 'The statement of the solicitor that the “defense has offered no evidence” effectively •directed and focused the attention of the jury upon the fact that the defendant had exercised his constitutional privilege .against self incrimination. This is expressly forbidden by our statute. For this reason I must respectfully dissent.
