““The test of fatal variance is whether the defendant was misled by the information and whether conviction under such information exposed him to the possibility of being later put in jeopardy again for the same offense. . . .””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Mayes v. State · McIntosh v. State““It is necessary for counsel for plaintiff in error not only to assert error, but to support his contentions by both argument and citation of authority. When this is not done, and it is apparent that the defendant has been deprived of no fundamental rights, this Court will not search the books for authorities to support the mere assertion that the trial court has erred.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Jones v. State““Where a witness voluntarily states a matter which should not be introduced in evidence and the court promptly excludes the testimony given by the witness and instructs the jury not to consider it in their deliberations, such voluntary statement of the witness, although improper, will not ordinarily be ground for the reversal of a conviction.””
