OPINION OF THE COURT

NIX, Justice.

This is a direct appeal from the entry of the judgment of sentence of 2½ to 12 years imprisonment imposed under a voluntary manslaughter conviction. The single question raised is the adequacy and accuracy of the trial court's further instructions to the jury on the issue of self-defense. The sufficiency of the evidence to support a conviction for voluntary manslaughter has not been raised.
