Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia.

December 18, 1981.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Marjorie Martorella, Joseph Martorella, Martorella & Martorella, Robert E. Vital, Huntington, for plaintiff in error.

Chauncey H. Browning, Atty. Gen., Frances W. McCoy, Asst. Atty. Gen., Charleston, for defendant in error.


PER CURIAM:

This is an appeal by Roger Lee Rowe from a final order of the Circuit Court of Wayne County which sentenced him to life imprisonment upon a jury verdict of guilty of first-degree murder without mercy. His principal assignments of error relate to the giving of certain instructions. We find that at least one of the instructions was improper and requires reversal; consequently, we find it unnecessary to address the other errors.1
