Weaver v. Stategreen

2 sentences

1988Weaver v. State, supra; Harrell v. City of Conway, supra. Although the instant case presents a somewhat different fact situation in that here the appellant did submit instructions differing from those proposed by the State, rather than failing to submit any instructions or submitting inadequate instructions as in the cases cited above, we find no meaningful distinction between the facts of this case and those presented in Weaver and Harrell, supra. The essential question under the rules enunciated in those cases is whether the local rule was applied in such a manner as to contravene a statute
