OPINION
CORNISH, Judge:
The appellant was convicted of Robbery With a Dangerous Weapon in Pottawatomie County District Court. He was sentenced by a jury to fifteen (15) years’ imprisonment.
The appellant raises four arguments on appeal: (1) the jailer handcuffed him in front of several jurors, (2) the State improperly introduced evidence of other crimes, (3) pretrial publicity prejudiced his right to a fair and impartial jury, and (4) the pretrial identification procedures were impermissibly suggestive. We find that the cumulative effect of the first two assignments of error require reversal.
