Wilson v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 18, 1999 · Campbell, Fulmer, Whatley
741 So. 2d 1150; 1999 Fla. App. LEXIS 13970; 1999 WL 623337 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Wilson v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

William Wilson appeals his conviction for manslaughter, arguing that the State failed to prove the victim’s head injury was a contributing cause of his death and arguing that the trial court erred in refusing to give three jury instructions proposed by Wilson. Upon review of the record, we conclude that the evidence was sufficient for the jury to find that Wilson’s actions were a contributing factor in the victim’s death. In addition, we find no reversible error in the trial court’s denial of Wilson’s requested jury instructions. Accordingly, we affirm.

Affirmed.

CAMPBELL, A.C.J., and FULMER and WHATLEY, JJ., Concur.
