WELTNER, Justice.
Four robbers, among them John Anthony Roberts, plotted to enter Charles Crosby's apartment and to rob him. They succeeded, and Crosby died as a result of ligature strangulation and blunt trauma to the head. Before Roberts' trial, all three of his companions had been tried, convicted, and sentenced for their crimes. All three testified as witnesses for the state. Roberts was convicted of felony murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.
