Maupin, C. J.,
with whom Rose, J., agrees, dissenting:
I would not overturn Owens v. State1 and thus would reverse the trial court in this instance. I believe that the facts of a particular case should be analyzed along with the elements of primary and proposed lesser included offenses to determine whether a “lesser included” jury instruction should be given. Although this would enlarge the scope of state due process rights beyond those afforded under the Federal Constitution, we are free to do so at the state level.

 100 Nev. 286, 288, 680 P.2d 593, 595 (1984).
