No. 35271.

704 S.E.2d 727 (2010)

STATE of West Virginia, Plaintiff Below, Appellee v. Richard Alan POORE, Defendant Below, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia.

Decided November 19, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William B. Summers, Esq. , Parkersburg, WV, for Appellant.

Darrell V. McGraw, Esq. , Attorney General, R. Christopher Smith, Esq. , Assistant Attorney General, Charleston, WV, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM:

The appellant, Richard Alan Poore, appeals his conviction of one count of first-degree murder and his sentence of life in prison without mercy in the Circuit Court of Pleasants County. On appeal, the appellant assigns several errors that allegedly occurred during his trial which, he claims, rendered the trial unfair. Because we find prejudicial error in the proceedings below, we reverse the appellant's conviction.
