Opinion of the Court

Pee Curiam.

Defendant was charged with first-degree murder.1 Following a jury trial the defendant was convicted of manslaughter.2 On appeal defendant contends that the court erred in allowing the jury to consider first- and second-degree murder3 as possible verdicts.

An examination of the record discloses questions of fact for jury consideration which could have supported a verdict of guilty of murder in the first,, or second degree.
