SPAIN, Justice.

This is a direct appeal from a judgment of the Jefferson Circuit Court sentencing the appellant, Major Crane, to thirty years' imprisonment following his conviction by a jury for wanton murder. A liquor store clerk was shot in the head and killed, apparently during an attempted robbery.

A forty-year sentence imposed on appellant following an earlier trial was set aside by the federal courts on constitutional procedural grounds.
