Summary
In People v. Sliney (137 N.Y. 570) the court says: "Great as is the responsibility imposed upon this court by the statute in capital cases, its extent does not require of us any other duty than to examine the record and from it to ascertain whether the accused has had a fair trial and that there was competent evidence from which the jury could justly find the accused guilty of the crime charged."
