PIEPER, J.,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent and would find the evidence in the record warrants an involuntary manslaughter charge. See State v. Wharton, 381 S.C. 209, 216, 672 S.E.2d 786, 789 (2009) (“If there is any evidence warranting a charge on involuntary manslaughter, then the charge must be given.”). Accordingly, I would find the trial court erred by failing to charge involuntary manslaughter, and I would reverse and remand for a new trial.
