1Opinion of the Court

JEAN HARRISON CLEMENTS, Judge.

Donald Lee Caison, Jr., (appellant) was convicted in a jury trial of manslaughter, in violation of Code § 18.2-35. On appeal, he contends the trial court erred in admitting into evidence a recording of a 911 call and in finding the evidence sufficient to support his conviction. Finding no error, we affirm the trial court’s judgment and appellant’s conviction.
