LAMBERT, J.,
concurring and concurring specially.
I concur with the majority opinion granting Page habeas corpus relief because it is consistent with our opinions in Paul v. State, 183 So.3d 1154 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015), and Coleman v. State, 128 So.3d 193 (Fla. 5th DCA 2013). However, as explained in my concurring opinion in Paul, but for the Florida Supreme Court’s opinions in Montgomery and Haygood, I would affirm Page’s conviction and sentence for second-degree murder because, in my view, although the use of the manslaughter by intentional act instruction was error, it was not fundamental error.
