ALTENBERND, Chief Judge.
Jason R. Light appeals his conviction for second-degree murder. After carefully reviewing all of the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, we conclude that the State failed to present a prima facie case of second-degree murder. We reverse and remand with directions to the trial court to enter a judgment of conviction for the lesser-included offense of manslaughter and to resentence Mr. Light accordingly.
