ORFINGER, Judge.
Charged with the crime of attempted first degree murder by "stabbing [the victim] with a knife," the defendant was convicted by a jury of "the lesser included offense of attempted second degree murder." The defendant contends that the court erroneously reclassified the crime for which he was convicted from a second degree to a first degree felony. We agree, and remand the case for resentencing.
