Before STEELE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND and RIDGELY, Justices.


STEELE, Chief Justice.

A Superior Court jury convicted Ronald T. Hankins of two counts of Murder First Degree. On appeal, Hankins argues that the trial judge incorrectly instructed the jury by refusing to link his instruction on Extreme Emotional Distress to the instruction on Murder First Degree. Because the trial judge properly instructed the jury, the judgments of the Superior Court are AFFIRMED.
