RAYFIELD MARTIN, APPELLANT, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE.

COWART, JOE A., Jr., Associate Judge.

In reinstructing the jury at their request, the trial judge defined manslaughter (F.S. Section 782.07, F.S.A.), but failed to define excusable homicide (F.S. Section 782.03, F.S.A.), and refused to repeat a substitute "accidental" instruction requested by defense counsel.

Hedges v. State, Fla.S.Ct. 1965, 172 So.2d 824; Green v. State, Fla.App. 1971, 244 So.2d 167; and Stills v. State (1 DCA 1973), 272 So.2d 174, are in point and require that the judgment herein be, and it is hereby, reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial.

WALDEN and DOWNEY, JJ., concur.
