COWART, JOE A., Jr., Associate Judge.
In reinstructing the jury at their request, the trial judge defined manslaughter (F.S. Section 782.07, F.S.A.), but failed to define excusable homicide (F.S. Section 782.03, F.S.A.), and refused to repeat a substitute "accidental" instruction requested by defense counsel.
