TAYLOR, J.
Appellant, Robert Sapp, was tried by jury and convicted of manslaughter for the shooting death of Steven Smith. He appeals from the judgment of conviction and sentence, contending that the trial court erred in denying his motions for judgment of acquittal and a new trial. The state urges us to affirm, arguing that appellant's actions set the stage for the tragedy which occurred and satisfied the standard for manslaughter by culpable negligence.
