People v. Nicholson
People v. Nicholson
Opinion of the Court
Defendant was found guilty by a jtiry of manslaughter
There is no merit in the defendant’s contention that the judge should have instructed the jury on felony-murder, a greater crime than the one with which the defendant was charged. There was an adequate evidentiary basis for the jury to find the defendant guilty of manslaughter. Therefore, it was proper for the trial court to allow the jury to exercise its function as the trier of fa'ct.
Thfe Other errors raised by defendant to the trial court’s charge to the jury are of such an unsubstantial tinture that they could only be preserved •for review by a timely objection at the trial level. Finding no such objection, we will not hear any allegations of error for the first time on appeal. People v. Charles Jackson (1970), 21 Mich App 132.
