Before MARVIN, JASPER E. JONES and NORRIS, JJ.

MARVIN, Judge.

Phillip Butler appeals his conviction by jury verdict of the crime of second degree murder, contending that the evidence was sufficient to convict only of the lesser crime of manslaughter and that the conviction, in any event, should be set aside because of inflammatory and prejudicial argument made by the state. He also asks that we review the record for errors patent.

We find no reversible error or error patent, and affirm.
