Description

Appellant was convicted by a jury of the offense of murder, see V.T.C.A., Â§ 19.02, and the court assessed punishment at life imprisonment in the Texas Department of Corrections. Appellant appealed the conviction to the Beaumont Court of Appeals. His conviction was affirmed in Matthews v. State, (Tex.App.-Beaumont, No. 09-83-165 CR, delivered August 23, 1984). We granted appellants petition for discretionary review to determine whether the court of appeals erred in its disposition of appellants second ground of error: that the evidence was sufficient to justify the trial courts charge to the jury on the issue of appellants having provoked the difficulty.
