OWEN, Judge.
On Christmas Eve, appellant, standing in the living room of his own home, killed one James Richard Cooper with a single rifle shot fired at almost point blank range. Charged with second degree murder, appellant was tried by a jury and found guilty of manslaughter. On this direct appeal from the conviction and sentence, we conclude that the best interest of justice would be served by awarding appellant a new trial.
