Stocks v. State6/23/2004
R>
3. Stocks contends that certain of the trial court's remarks "de- emphasized" to the jury the importance of Harris's convictions when it charged the jury on impeachment evidence. This contention is not supported by a fair reading of the record. The record reveals that after the court gave its final charge, Stocks excepted to the court's omission to charge on impeachment by evidence of prior felony convictions. The record further shows that the court then recalled the jury and gave the charge, prefacing it with, "I'm sorry. There's one thing I forgot. This is not any more important than anything else I said. Everything is equal and I don't - I'm not trying to emphasize this, I just forgot it." Contrary to Stocks's assertion, these remarks did not "de-emphasize" the importance of Harris's convictions.
Judgment affirmed.
Smith, C. J., and Johnson, P. J., concur.
