Description
WHITFIELD, J. -- Cochran was indicted for murder in the first degree and was convicted of murder in the second degree. Pleas in abatement were overruled on demurrer and errors are assigned thereon. One plea avers that 510 names were on the list of names selected by the County Commissioners to serve as jurors and that 13 names were stricken by erasures and at least one of the 13 names that were so erased was placed in the box. Another plea avers that the jury list was not forthwith recorded. It does not appear that the jury list was tampered with, and the erasures of surplus names did not render the list invalid. Even if one of the erased names was placed in the box, it had been selected, and the number put in the box was then below the statutory maximum. Mere failure to record the list at the time it was made was an irregularity not fatal to the list. The defendant is not shown to have been injured by any of the irregularities complained of. Keech v. State, 15 Fla. 591.
