2013In determining that the attempted manslaughter by act instruction was fundamentally erroneous under the facts of that case, the court relied on its opinion in State v. Montgomery, 39 So.3d 252, 258 (Fla.2010), which held that the use of the then-standard manslaughter by act instruction constituted fundamental error when Montgomery was convicted of second-degree murder because it contained an additional element of intent to kill.

2011However, in Del Valle v. State, 52 So.3d 16, 18 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010), this court recognized that in Montgomery, “the supreme court effectively overruled this court’s decision in Zeigler.” Thus this court held that appellate counsel was ineffective in failing to argue based on the First District’s Montgomery decision that the then-standard manslaughter by act instruction was fundamentally erroneous even though the Hall court did not consider the instruction to be erroneous at all.
