In People v Lovett, 396 Mich. 101; 238 N.W.2d 44 (1976), we held in a per curiam opinion that it was reversible error for the trial judge to refuse to instruct on the lesser included offense of attempt, when the evidence showed the completed offense.

In People v Lovett, 396 Mich. 101; 238 N.W.2d 44 (1976), without discussing the retroactivity issue, we found Jones/Chamblis error and reversed a conviction entered prior to our decision in Jones and Chamblis.

In People v Lovett, 396 Mich. 101; 238 N.W.2d 44 (1976), for example, we reversed the defendant's conviction where defense counsel specifically requested an instruction on the lesser included offense of attempted armed robbery, and the request was denied.

In Lovett, without acknowledging that it was applying Ora Jones, supra, retroactively, the Supreme Court did just that, People v Harrison, 71 Mich. App. 226, 228; 247 N.W.2d 360 (1976), and reversed a conviction because the trial judge refused defense counsel's request to charge the jury on attempted armed robbery.

In People v Lovett, 396 Mich. 101; 238 N.W.2d 44 (1976), the Supreme Court reversed a conviction for larceny from the person because the trial court refused to give a requested instruction on attempted armed robbery, an offense necessarily included in the charge of armed robbery.

In People v Lovett, 396 Mich. 101, 102; 238 N.W.2d 44 (1976), the Supreme Court applied the rule of Ora Jones in reversing a 1974 conviction in which the trial court refused a similar request by the defendant.

In Lovett the Supreme Court reversed a conviction because the trial judge failed to instruct on the lesser included offense of attempted armed robbery despite defense counsel's request.
