Mr. JUSTICE KARNS,

¶1dissenting:

¶2The defendant testified he acted in self-defense. If the jury believed defendant he was entitled to be acquitted. In my opinion, there is no evidence in the record which would warrant the giving of a voluntary manslaughter instruction. As in People v. Tiller (1978), 61 Ill. App. 3d 785, 378 N.E.2d 283, the defendant was either guilty of murder or not guilty of any crime.
