KLEES, Judge.
On January 16, 1986, a grand jury indicted the defendant Michael Lewis for second degree murder of Larry Stephens which occurred on August 30, 1983. After a two day trial a twelve person jury found the defendant guilty of manslaughter, a violation of R.S. 14:31. The trial court sentenced the defendant to serve twenty years at hard labor and the defendant now appeals contending that the evidence was insufficient to convict him.
