10/08/2009 NOTICE-SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHORITY PT State Of Florida state1 BY: PT Charles Richey Mccoy 333646 O&3 (10/09/2009: 8 COPIES FILED)
04/08/2010 DISP-APPROVED we approve the decision of the First District Court of Appeal to the extent that it held that manslaughter by act does not require proof that the defendant intended to kill the victim and concluding that in this case, the use of the standard jury instruction on manslaughter constituted fundamental error. We answer the certified question in the negative and hold that the crime of manslaughter by act does not require that the State prove that the defendant intended to kill the victim. We further hold that the intent which the State must prove for the purpose of manslaughter by act is the intent to commit an act that was not justified or excusable, which caused the death of the victim. Moreover, we conclude that the use of the standard jury instruction on manslaughter constituted fundamental, reversible error in Montgomery's case and requires that Montgomery receive a new trial. Given our resolution of the certified question, we do not reach the certified conflict.
