and he appealed. The Court of Criminal
Appeals, Tyson, J., held that photographs
of deceased, notwithstanding appearance of
surgical incisions, were properly admitted
as tending to shed light on the acts, motive
and intent of defendant; that unsigned
notes did not amount to a statement oI
prosecution witness, but merely represented
work product of county investigator's in-
terview of a prospective witness, and as

such were not subject to defendant's mo-
tion to produce; that trial court properly
overruled defendant's motion for mistrial
based upon claimed improper questions of
prosecutor; that court properly denied
mistrial based on allegedly improper argu-
ment of district attorney that "The State
has one chance, The State cannot ap-
peal."; and that error, if any, in court's re-
fusal of defendant's requested charges de-

lineating his duty to retreat vel non bcfore

In.rebuttal for the State, Jimmy McKee
testified that he had seen W. L. Neeley
after supper on the night of December lg,

Appellant's tvritten request for the af-

tll Appellant first contends the trial
court erred in allowing into evidence pho-
tographs of the deceased, marked State's
Exhibits Nos. l-j. He argues that the
photographs are highly prejudicial because
of the "surgical incisions" that appear.

ln IvIcKee z'. State,253 Ala. 235, {4 So.
2d781, the Court stated:

" ' t * * The sole question is whether
the physical evidence will assist, and not
mislead, the jury in understanding the
matter before them. It is not necessary
that the object sought to be admitted be
in exactly the same condition as at the
time of the occurrence of the fact that
it is intended to illustrate; such a require-
ment would make evidence of this nature
inadmissible in practicatty all cases, since
it is hardly ever possible to reproduce
conditions exactly. There was
no error in admitting in evidence a pho-
tograph of the deceased, taken after the
performance of an autopsy, even ttrough
the photograph showed marks of inci-
sions made for the purposes of the au-
topsy, the autopsy surgeon pointing out
to the jury the marks resulting from his
examination.' . . .,,

photographs into evidence, Dr. Frank

IV

Finally appellant argues that the trial
court committed reversible error by refus-
ing his requested charges, Nos. 19, 20, and
21, dealing with the defense of self-defense

as it relates to an assault and battery.
Though not all worded exactly alike, each

of these charges stands fot the general

proposition that the doctrinc of retreat, as

applied to self-defensc in a criminal homi-
cide, i. e., murder or manslaugtrter, is not

applicable to the right of self-defense in an

assault and battery situation, or stated

slightly differently, one is not required to
retreat before using aon-deadly force in
one's own defense.

Appellant was tried on a first degree

murder indictment and the jury returned a

verdict finding him guilty of manslaughter
in the first degree. In its oral charge, the

trial court charged the jury on first and

second degree murder, first and second de-

gree manslaughter, crd ossatb and baltery.
The trial court then charged the jury as to
the law of sclfdefensc in a criminal homi-
cide, but failed to do so with rcslrcct to an

assault and battcry.

t6l It is to be noted that, unlike l/cl-
doa o. Srote; SO,Ala-App. 4V, N So2d

183, relied upon so heavily by appellant in
brief, the jury in the instant case was

charged as to the lesser included offense
of assault and battery and could therefore
have returned a verdict finding appellant
guilty of such lesser charge only. Horv-
ever, the jurl' made a finding of fact as

evidenced by their verdict, that the appel-

lant used deadly rather than non-deadly
force against Neeley. That being the case,

any error by the trial court in rcfusing ap-

pellant's charges delineating his duty to re-
treat vel non before using noa-deadly fotce
to defend himself was rendered harmless.

Under Rule 45, Alabama Rules of Appel-
late Procedure, we have carefully consid-

ered the entire testimony, and conclude

that, in view of the severe beating admin-
istered to the deceased, which, in the opin;
ion of Dr. Haws, was the contributing
cause of death, the possibility of death

being attributable to a prior encounter was

onty theo'retical. Accordingly, the trial
judge, in giving a charge as to assault and

battery as a lesser included offense, gave

the defendant a possible benefit to rvhich
he was not legally entitled under the evi-
dence. Therefore, the refusal of these

charges, Nos. 19, 20, and 21, lvas not error
since, in our opinion, assault and battery
was not shown.

Ivloreover, the jury, by its verdict, chose

not to give credence to any hypothesis

based upon assault and battery or involun-
tary manslaughter.
