BETTY C. DICKEY, Chief Justice.
Appellant Jeffrey Elmore appeals his January 21, 2003 conviction for the rape of his twelve-year-old stepdaughter. At issue is whether the trial judge erred in not striking his wife from the jury for cause. Because this appeal involves a sentence in which the death penalty or life imprisonment has been imposed, we have jurisdiction under Ark. R. Sup.Ct. 1-2(a)(2). We reverse and remand for a new trial.
