1Opinion of the Court
Clarke, Presiding Justice.
Robert W. Roper was convicted of murder, armed robbery, kidnapping and robbery by sudden snatching. He received three life sentences on the murder, armed robbery and kidnapping charges and ten years imprisonment on the robbery by sudden snatching charge. He now appeals. Because a confession introduced against him at trial was obtained in violation of the rule of Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U. S. 477 (101 SC 1880, 68 LE2d 378) (1981), and Michigan v. Jackson, Alb U. S. 625 (106 SC 1404, 89 LE2d 631) (1986), we reverse in part and affirm in part.
