243 GA 508 - State v. Allen

Undercofler, Presiding Justice.

¶1This is a certiorari to the Court of Appeals. Allen v. State, 147 Ga. App. 701 (250 SE2d 5) (1978). The only question is whether a requested charge on involuntary manslaughter under Code Ann. § 26-1103 (b) was required. The recitation of facts in the Court of Appeals opinion appears not to require such charge; however, the principle of law relied upon is correct. Jackson v. State, 76 *509Ga. 473 (2) (1886); Warnack v. State, 3 Ga. App. 590 (2) (60 SE 288) (1907). Since the interpretation of the evidence is not a matter of gravity we dismiss the certiorari as improvidently granted.
