Click to open document 07/03/2019 NOTICE-APPEARANCE RS State Of Florida state1 BY: RS Virginia Chester Harris 706221
Click to open document 12/19/2019 DISP-APPROVED FSC-OPINION: In this case, we conclude that the trial court's unobjected-to, erroneous jury instruction on the lesser included offense of attempted voluntary manslaughter with a weapon did not constitute fundamental error. Accordingly, we approve the result of the First District's decision affirming Knight's conviction. It is so ordered.
