1Opinion of the Court
Robert H. Dudley, Justice.
This case is on appeal for the second time. The appellant, Richard G. Bennett, previously was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. We reversed that conviction, holding that it was prejudicial error to admit prosecution testimony by deposition in the absence of a showing of unavailability of the witness. Bennett v. State, 297 Ark. 115, 759 S.W.2d 799 (1988). A change of venue was granted, and upon retrial, the appellant was again convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Again, we must reverse and remand for another trial.
