Long v. State

Omar Long (Defendant) appeals the judgment finding him guilty of manslaughter by culpable negligence and the order revoking his probation on a previous charge.1 Defendant argues that: 1) the evidence presented by the State was legally insufficient to convict him of manslaughter; and 2) the trial court erred in not instructing the jury on the lesser included offense of leaving a child unattended in a motor vehicle pursuant to section 316.6135, Florida Statutes (2009). In addition, Defendant requests that the order revoking probation be reversed in the event his manslaughter conviction is reversed.

We find that there was sufficient evidence to submit the manslaughter charge to the jury and affirm on that ground ■without further discussion. With respect to Defendant’s claim that the trial court *981erred in failing to instruct the jury on a lesser included offense, we affirm without prejudice to Defendant to file an appropriate motion for postconviction relief. We also affirm the order revoking Defendant’s probation.

AFFIRMED.
