Weist v. State

5160

401 S. W. 2d 565

Opinion delivered April 18, 1966

Frank Slomt, W. B. Howard and Jack Segars, for appellant.

*681 Bruce Bennett, Attorney General, Fletcher Jachson, Asst. Atty. General, for appellee.

George Rose Smith, Justice.

The appellant was convicted of negligent homicide upon proof that his drunken driving caused a traffic collision in which Don Taylor Gazaway was killed. The jury fixed the penalty at imprisonment for one year and a fine of $500.00.

For reversal the appellant urges a single point, that the trial court erred in permitting the prosecuting attorney, over the objection of defense counsel, to ask the witness Gage if he knew that the accused drank. A com: pĂ­ete answer to this contention is simply that the question was never answered; so there could have been no prejudice. Reynolds v. State, 220 Ark. 188, 246 S. W. 2d 724 (1952).

Affirmed.
