¶1Appellant was charged with attempted first degree murder. Following a jury trial, he was convicted of the lesser included offense of attempted second degree murder. As the state concedes, the trial court's failure to instruct the jury on the necessarily included offense of attempted manslaughter by act amounted to fundamental error because that offense is one step removed from the convicted offense of attempted second degree murder. SeeWalton v. State , 208 So.3d 60, 64 (Fla. 2016) ; Coleman v. State , 110 So.3d 971, 972 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013). Nothing in the record suggests that appellant expressly waived the instruction. Defense counsel did not waive the error by failing to request an instruction on attempted manslaughter by act. SeeRoberts v. State , 242 So.3d 296,299 (Fla. 2018).
¶2Reversed and remanded for a new trial .
