Section 12-16-13 Charges moved for by parties; appeals; general charges. Charges moved for by either party must be in writing and must be given or refused in the terms in which they are written, and it is the duty of the judge to write "given" or "refused," as the case may be, on the document and sign his name thereto, which thereby becomes a part of the record.

The refusal of a charge, though a correct statement of the law, shall not be cause...
