1Opinion of the Court
FAIRCHILD, Senior Circuit Judge.
Petitioner-appellee Donald Everette (“Everette”) was convicted of murder in Illinois state court following a jury trial. Everette contends that the trial court improperly refused to instruct his jury on self-defense and voluntary manslaughter in violation of his federal due process rights. Thomas Roth, the Warden of Sheridan Correctional Center where Everette is incarcerated, and Roland Burris, the Attorney General of Illinois, appeal from a judgment of the district court granting Everette’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus.1 We reverse.
