RICHARDS v. STATE

No. 1D11-116.

84 So.3d 1167 (2012)

Gerald Raymond RICHARDS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

April 2, 2012.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nancy A. Daniels , Public Defender, and Danielle Jorden , Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi , Attorney General, and Dixie Daimwood , Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


WETHERELL, J.

Appellant was convicted of second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison based on the jury's finding that he discharged a firearm causing great bodily harm during the commission of the offense. In this direct appeal, Appellant contends that the trial court fundamentally erred in instructing the jury on the lesser included offense of manslaughter. We find no merit in this argument and, thus, affirm Appellant's judgment and sentence.
