Williams, 977 S.W.2d 101 (Tenn. 1998), to adequately assess the effect of the error. 2 In Williams, our supreme court recognized that the trial court had erred by failing to charge voluntary manslaughter when instructions had been given on first degree premeditated murder and second degree murder. | 1 | 2010–2010 |
