JOHNSON, J.

¶ 1. After he shot and killed Rejean Lussier while hunting, defendant Collin Viens was charged, convicted, and sentenced for involuntary manslaughter, 13 V.S.A. § 2304. On appeal, defendant claims that the trial court erred in instructing the jury and in denying defendant's motions for a judgment of acquittal. Defendant also asserts that his conviction cannot stand because the State's information was defective. We disagree and affirm.
