OPINION

DROWOTA, Justice.

The dispositive issues in this appeal are as follows: (1) whether the indictment in this case charging the defendant with aggravated rape is sufficient to support a conviction for spousal rape, a "lesser grade" offense under this Court's decision in State v. Trusty, 919 S.W.2d 305 (Tenn.1996); and (2) if so, should this Court reconsider it decision in Trusty.
