Robert L. BURROUGHS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Robert Burroughs, Appellant, challenges his conviction and sentence for second-degree murder, arguing that the trial court fundamentally erred in giving the standard jury instruction for the lesser-included offense of manslaughter by act because it erroneously includes the provision that the defendant intended to cause the victim's death. For the reasons expressed in Montgomery v. State, No. 1D07-4688 (Fla. 1st DCA Dec. 31, 2008), we agree. Accordingly, Appellant's conviction and sentence for second-degree murder is REVERSED and REMANDED for a new trial consistent with this Court's opinion in Montgomery.

BROWNING, C.J., BARFIELD, and LEWIS, JJ., concur.
