Description

In two grounds of error the appellant complains that his voir dire examination of the jury was restricted to the extent that he could not intelligently exercise his right to make peremptory challenges. He argues that the court erred in not permitting him to ascertain the prospective jurors attitudes and feelings about assessing a minimum punishment of five years imprisonment for the offense of murder and in not permitting him to ascertain the prospective jurors attitudes and feelings for granting or denying probation to a defendant after his conviction for the offense of murder. We conclude after considering the record that appellants counsel was not allowed sufficient latitude in voir dire examination. The matters complained of require that the judgment be reversed.
