““No judgment shall be set aside, or new trial granted, in any case on the ground of misdirection of the jury or the improper admission or rejection of evidence, or for error as to any matter or pleading or procedure, unless in the opinion of the court to which application is made, after an examination of the entire case, it shall appear that the error complained of has resulted in a miscarriage of justice, or has actually prejudiced the defendant, in respect to a substantial right.””

Skaug““If the jury finds the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree, then the jury is privileged to fix the punishment at death or confinement in the State Prison for life. If, however, after so finding the degree of the offense, the jury does not agree as to the fixing of the punishment and does not fix the punishment, it will follow as a matter of law that the Court will have to pass sentence inflicting the death penalty.””
