Scott v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Scott’s convictions and sentences, holding that the trial court properly declined to instruct the jury on unlawful-act involuntary manslaughter because the evidence showed aggravated assault rather than either alleged misdemeanor. The court further held that Scott’s claim concerning lawful-act involuntary manslaughter was subject only to plain-error review and failed because he affirmatively waived the instruction by withdrawing his request.
