PER CURIAM
The defendant, James William Smith, was convicted in McDowell County Circuit Court of second-degree murder. His primary assignments of error are that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction and that his trial counsel was ineffective. We conclude that the case must be remanded to determine the voluntariness of certain confessions made by the defendant and to consider the merits of his ineffective assistance claims.
