Description
Antwaine Devon Butler appeals from his conviction of first degree murder. He claims a violation of his Sixth Amendment confrontation rights based on the trial courts admission of prior inconsistent statements by two witnesses and evidence of a prior uncharged offense. Appellant also asserts instructional error in the trial courts refusal to give requested instructions on voluntary manslaughter. We find no Sixth Amendment violation and conclude the evidence of the uncharged offense was relevant and admissible. On this record, the trial court was not required to instruct on voluntary manslaughter.
