1Opinion of the Court

Betty C. Dickey, Justice.

Appellant Robbin R. Ridling was convicted of capital felony murder by a Miller County jury and was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. Ridling brings seven (7) points on appeal, none of which has merit. We affirm.

Background

Ridling and his wife, Lisa Graf, lived in Texarkana, Arkansas, in a duplex adjoining that of Betty Tullis, the girlfriend of Roy Baskett, the victim. Baskett became friends with Ridling and Lisa, and continued that friendship after Betty and Baskett had stopped dating, and she had moved from the duplex into a home in May 2002.
