Opinion of the Court

Quinn, Chief Judge:

The accused was tried before a general court-martial on a charge of murder, but was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, in violation of Article 119, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC § 919. As approved on intermediate review, the sentence includes a dishonorable discharge and confinement at hard labor for three years. In this Court the accused challenges the law officer’s instructions on the law of self-defense. Proper consideration of the issue requires a statement of the material evidence.
