Before BROWN, WILLIAMS, and CARAWAY, JJ.


BROWN, C.J.

Defendant, Rodney Gay, was indicted for second degree murder arising from the August 2001 homicide of Jerry George. After trial had commenced, defendant elected to enter a guilty plea to a reduced charge of manslaughter. The court sentenced defendant to serve 30 years at hard labor and denied a timely motion for reconsideration. On appeal, defendant argues that the sentence is excessive. We affirm the conviction and sentence.
