              ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA

DAVIS, CHARLES A., Senior Judge.

             On June 24, 2010, Tyree Gland was adjudicated guilty of second-degree

murder and delinquent in possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to life in prison for

the murder charge and to a concurrent fifteen-year sentence on the firearm charge.
This court affirmed his convictions and sentences by opinion issued October 5, 2011.

Gland v. State, 

(Fla. 2d DCA 2011).

              On June 11, 2014, the Florida Supreme Court partially quashed our

opinion and remanded the case to this court for reconsideration and application of

Haygood v. State, 

(Fla. 2013), to one of the issues raised by Mr. Gland.

Gland v. State, 

(Fla. 2014) (table decision).

              The issue we must now reconsider involves the giving of the standard jury

instruction for manslaughter by act that was determined to be erroneous in State v.

Montgomery, 

(Fla. 2010).1 We previously affirmed Mr. Gland's conviction

and sentence for second-degree murder. In doing so, we cited opinions that are no

longer good law in light of Haygood, 

. Having now reconsidered the

facts of the instant case in light of Haygood and the Florida Supreme Court's recent

opinion in Griffin v. State, 

(Fla. 2015), we reverse Mr. Gland's judgment

and sentence.

              Mr. Gland's second-degree murder charge stems from the shooting death

of Deandre Brown, a pedestrian who was present for the culmination of a series of

altercations that occurred over the course of one night in the streets of St. Petersburg.

At trial, Mr. Gland raised a defense of misidentification; he did not deny that the victim

died of a gunshot, but he maintained that he was not there or was not the one who fired

the fatal shot.



              1
               In his original appeal, Mr. Gland raised four issues. Our prior opinion
affirmed two of the issues without discussion and explained this court's reasoning in
affirming the other two issues, one of which is the subject of our current review. We do
not further address the other three issues raised by Mr. Gland on appeal as they were
fully addressed by our earlier opinion. See Gland, 

.


                                            -2-
              At the conclusion of trial, Mr. Gland requested that the jury be instructed

on the lesser included charge of manslaughter. The trial court granted his request and

gave standard instructions on both manslaughter by act and manslaughter by culpable

negligence. It is undisputed that the standard instruction for manslaughter by act given

at Mr. Gland's trial contained erroneous language that required a jury finding that the

defendant intentionally caused the death of the victim. Nevertheless, we previously

affirmed Mr. Gland's conviction because we concluded that the fact that the

manslaughter by culpable negligence instruction also was given sufficiently overcame

the error in the manslaughter by act instruction. But in Haygood, the Florida Supreme

Court has since concluded that the giving of the culpable negligence instruction is

insufficient to cure the fundamental nature of the error unless the facts of a case support

the giving of both 

.

              Following Haygood, the supreme court issued Griffin, 

, in

which the State argued that the erroneous intent language in the instruction on

manslaughter by act was not harmful where the appellant's sole defense at trial was

mistaken identity and the issue of the intent of the actual perpetrator was not contested

by the defendant at trial. The supreme court rejected this argument, concluding as

follows:

              In the present case, other than the fact that [the victim] was
              shot, Griffin did not concede any other elements of the crime
              charged; he simply contested his identity as the perpetrator.
              . . . Thus, we conclude that intent remained a matter that
              was pertinent or material to what the jury must consider in
              order to convict Griffin of the crime charged or a lesser
              included offense, notwithstanding his claim of
              misidentification.

                                           -3-
              Although the facts of Griffin are somewhat different than those in the

instant case, the reasoning applied in Griffin compels the same result here where Mr.

Gland too challenged only his identity as the perpetrator but did not concede any other

elements of the charged offense. We therefore conclude that the trial court committed

fundamental error in giving the standard jury instruction on the lesser included offense

of manslaughter by act. Mr. Gland's defense did not remove the intent issue from the

jury's consideration, and the giving of the instruction on manslaughter by culpable

negligence was not sufficient to correct the error. See 

.

Accordingly, we reverse Mr. Gland's conviction for second-degree murder and remand

for new trial on this charge.

              Reversed and remanded.
