California Court of Appeal

Defendant's convictions for attempted murder and two counts of assault are: 1) reversed in part, as to the conviction for attempted murder because the jury was not instructed on attempted voluntary manslaughter based on a sudden quarrel or heat of passion and this error was prejudicial, but the People may retry defendant for attempted murder, however, because there was sufficient evidence presented to support the charge; but 2) otherwise affirmed.
