1Opinion of the Court
MILLER, Justice:
The defendant, Danny Lee Worley, was convicted of first degree murder by a Raleigh County Circuit Court jury in October, 1982. He was sentenced to life imprisonment without mercy. His primary assignments of error are: (1) the admission of evidence seized pursuant to a defective search warrant; (2) the warrantless arrest of the defendant in a private home; (3) the admission of a confession rendered involuntary by improper police promises and deception; and (4) the violation of prompt presentment principles. We find no error and affirm the conviction.
