MITCHELL, Justice.

The defendant challenges the sufficiency of the trial court's instructions to the jury on the elements of various degrees of murder and manslaughter. We conclude that the instructions were sufficient and that there was no prejudicial error in the trial of the defendant.

Given the nature of the contentions of the defendant on this appeal, an extensive statement of the evidence presented by the State and the defendant is not necessary.
