Supreme Court of Arkansas.

January 29, 1973.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Eddie N. Christian, Charles R. Garner and Burl C. Rotenberry, Fort Smith, for appellant.

Ray Thornton, Atty. Gen. by Henry Ginger, Deputy Atty. Gen., Little Rock, for appellee.

HOLT, Justice.

A jury convicted appellant of first degree murder and assessed his punishment at death by electrocution. On appeal the only contention is that the judgment on this verdict constitutes cruel and unusual punishment as forbidden by the United States Constitution and, consequently, his sentence must be reduced to life imprisonment. This contention is valid. Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238
