Fleming v. State

Fleming v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 14, 1990 · Anstead, Downey, Letts
557 So. 2d 621; 1990 Fla. App. LEXIS 870; 1990 WL 11136 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Fleming v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm appellant’s robbery conviction but reverse the conviction for attempted second degree murder and remand for a new trial. The trial court, apparently under the mistaken belief that no such crime existed, refused to instruct the jury on the lesser-included offense of attempted manslaughter. This was reversible error. See Marshall v. State, 529 So.2d 797 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988); Hunter v. State, 389 So.2d 661 *622(Fla. 4th DCA 1988); Hunter v. State, 389 So.2d 661 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980).

DOWNEY, ANSTEAD and LETTS, JJ., concur.
