Court of Appeals of Arizona April 21, 1987, 2 CA-CR 4174 (State v. Davis)

OPINION

FERNANDEZ, Judge.

After a lengthy jury trial, appellant Sherrie Lee Davis was convicted of second-degree murder. On appeal, we find that the jury was improperly instructed on the lesser-included offense of manslaughter, which requires that the case be remanded for a new trial.

Appellant and the victim, Billy Johnson, dated from March 1983 until the beginning of 1984.
