Description

Rickey Glen Harrod appeals his conviction for the murder of his brother, Arthur Don Harrod (Don). After finding appellant guilty of murder, the jury assessed appellants punishment at twelve years confinement in the penitentiary. Appellant brings two issues complaining of the trial courts charge. In the first issue, appellant asserts the charge, allowing a general verdict of murder, failed to require unanimity on the specific element of self-defense the jury rejected and, thereby, denied him his right to a unanimous jury verdict. In appellants second issue, he contends the trial court committed harmful error by including in the charge an instruction on "provoking the difficulty" when the evidence was not sufficient to support its submission. Resolving each of appellants issues against him, we affirm the judgment.
