Homicide — first-degree murder — second-degree instruction not required
A Court of Appeals decision that the trial court erred in a first-degree murder prosecution by failing to instruct the jury on the lesser-included offense of second-degree murder is reversed for the reason stated in the dissenting opinion in the Court of Appeals that there was no evidence to support a finding by the jury that the murder was not premeditated and deliberate.
