1Opinion of the Court

Benham, Justice.

This appeal is from appellant’s conviction of murder, possession of a firearm during commission of a crime, and possession of a firearm by a first offender probationer. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and to five years imprisonment on each of the other counts, to be served concurrently to each other and consecutively to the life sentence. In five enumerations of error, appellant contends that his character was impermissibly placed in issue by repeated references to appellant’s drug use and dealing and by evidence establishing that conduct.
