Description
The indigent defendants in these consolidated appeals were jointly tried on an information charging them with second degree murder. Although vigorously and effectively defended by court-appointed counsel, each was found guilty and sentence to life imprisonment. The verdicts are amply supported by substantial competent evidence including testimony by an eye-witness, a pathologist, a ballistics expert, police officers and others. Consequently, the defendants base their appeals primarily upon alleged errors in the conduct of the proceedings including (1) the denial of their pre-trial motions for funds to hire an investigator and for a transcribed copy of testimony at the preliminary hearing, (2) the disqualification of one juror and substitution of an alternate after a panel had been selected and sworn and (3) the refusal to include in the jury instructions a requested cautionary charge concerning testimony by an accomplice. We find no error in these or other rulings and affirm.
