Taylor v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 11, 1993 · Altenbernd, Danahy, Patterson
622 So. 2d 603; 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 8421; 1993 WL 310745 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Taylor v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the appellant’s conviction and sentence for attempted second degree murder with a firearm because the trial court failed to give the jury a complete instruction on manslaughter including an explanation of both justifiable and excusable homicide. See Rinaldi v. State, 614 So.2d 1197 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993). We remand for a new trial on the charge of attempted second degree murder.

We affirm the appellant’s conviction and sentence for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

DANAHY, A.C.J., and PATTERSON and ALTENBERND,* JJ., Concur.
