3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““In the instant case there was no evidence in the record to show mitigation as required by section [45-5-103]. In fact, defendant’s theory throughout the trial was that he did not murder the victim. In State v. McDonald, 51 Mont. 1, 16 , 149 P. 279, 285 (1915), it was said: “ . In many instances, however, the evidence is such as to show that the defendant is either guilty of the offense charged or is entitled to any acquittal. In such cases the court may not be put in error for refusing or failing to instruct as to the lower degree or the included offense.’ ””
