Christopher Dean, Petitioner v. State of Florida, Respondent — Pariente, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part

Summary

Pariente, J. concurs that manslaughter is a category‑one lesser‑included offense of second‑degree felony murder, but dissents from the Court’s approval of the Fourth District’s affirmation of Dean’s convictions, holding that the trial court’s failure to give the required instruction is per se reversible and the case should be remanded for a new trial (including resentencing).
