Smith, C. J.,

¶1 delivered the opinion of the court.

¶2*168 This is an appeal from a conviction of murder. The evidence would support a conviction of manslaughter, but does not support a conviction of murder; consequently, the court erred in not granting the appellant’s request for an instruction limiting his conviction to manslaughter.

¶3 Reversed and remanded.
