736 S.E.2d 301

The STATE, Respondent, v. Devon F. FRAZIER, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of South Carolina.

Decided January 2, 2013.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Appellate Defender Breen R. Stevens , of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan M. Wilson , Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh , Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka , and Assistant Attorney General Alphonso Simon, Jr. , all of Columbia; and Solicitor Douglas A. Barfield, Jr. , of Lancaster, for Respondent.


THOMAS, J.

Devon F. Frazier appeals his convictions for murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. He argues the trial court committed reversible error in (1) declining to charge self-defense; (2) declining to charge voluntary manslaughter; and (3) charging that malice may be inferred from the use of a deadly weapon. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for a new trial.
