Fry's defense team argued during a Thursday hearing the jury should have been presented with the option of considering a manslaughter conviction based on Fry's alleged diminished capacity.
The judge ruled Monday not enough evidence of diminished capacity existed and set Feb. 17 as Fry's sentencing date.
