No. CA CR 86-242.

730 S.W.2d 250 (1987)

21 Ark.App. 107

Dow Richard PURSLEY, Appellant, v. STATE of Arkansas, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Arkansas, Division II.

May 20, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Leon Holmes, Little Rock, for appellant.

J. Blake Hendrix, Asst. Atty. Gen., Little Rock, for appellee.


CRACRAFT, Judge.

Dow Richard Pursley was convicted of having unlawfully entered and remained on the premises of Dr. William F. Harrison on three successive Fridays. He does not deny his guilt of criminal trespass but contends that it was error under the circumstances in this case for the trial court to refuse to give a proffered instruction on the so-called "choice of evils defense." We conclude that there was no error and affirm the convictions.
