    JENKINS v. THE STATE.
   Per curiam.

The jury found the defendant guilty of murder. On appeal he urges solely that he should be granted a new trial on the general grounds.

There was evidence from which the jury was authorized to find that the defendant shot his girl friend three times with a .38 caliber revolver. Although the defendant was the only eyewitness who testified at trial, the jury was not required to believe his self-defense testimony. The fact that he sought help for the victim does not disprove malice at the time of the shooting. The evidence supports the verdict.
