JEFFERS v. THE STATE.

QUILLIAN, Judge.

The defendant was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter. An appeal was filed and the case is here for review. Held:

The evidence, while conflicting as to whether the deceased pulled a knife on the defendant, was sufficient to present a jury question as to whether the defendant was justified in shooting the deceased. See Clay v. State, 124 Ga. 795, 796 ( 53 S.E. 179).

Judgment affirmed. Bell, C. J., and Deen, J., concur.

SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 10, 1973 — DECIDED SEPTEMBER 24, 1973.
