The applicant applied for certiorari to quash his committal for trial on a charge of first degree murder and substitute a charge of second degree murder.
He argued there was no evidence of forcible confinement or that he was a party to it.

There was some evidence upon which a properly instructed jury could find that the victim was forcibly confined by an unidentified man acting in concert with the applicant during the shooting.
