On this appeal Carson presents these grounds for reversal of the conviction: (1) Permitting the prosecution to excuse for cause those prospective jurors who expressed conscientious scruples against imposition of the death penalty; (2) admission of a photograph of the appellant; (3) admission of a photograph of the victim; (4) admission of a written statement given by appellant before he was taken before a magistrate and while he was without legal counsel; (5) admission of oral statements made by appellant to the victims father, made while appellant had no legal counsel; (6) failure of the examining court to provide an attorney for the accused; (7) placing the jury in custody of the sheriff, since the latter was a prosecution witness; and (8) erroneous instruction concerning necessity for unanimity of the verdict.
