Decided November 4, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Before NICHOLS, ROBERTS, VIOLETTE, WATHEN and GLASSMAN, JJ.


ROBERTS, Justice.

The State appeals from an order of the Superior Court, Knox County, dismissing an indictment against Dennis Eugene Friel on the ground of former jeopardy.

Because we find no support for the State's contentions, we affirm the dismissal.
