Try CasePortal for Free[Modified.] J. Wiley changes several sentences regarding intentionality in a manslaughter case and denies a petition for rehearing with no change in judgment. Defendant's conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm did not violate the Second Amendment, which is a constitutional right limited by Supreme Court decisions. Any error by the state's characterization of the provocation needed to support a voluntary manslaughter instruction was harmless, defendant was not due a self-defense instruction because no evidence showed he thought he was in danger, and involuntary manslaughter was off the table because he deliberately loaded a gun and moved to confront the victim at close quarters. The trial court must correct its sentencing order so that the 16-month sentence for the firearm conviction runs concurrently with his murder sentence. Reversed in part.
