1Opinion of the CourtWahls, P.J.
Following a jury trial in the Iosco Circuit Court, defendant, John Douglas Loyer, was convicted of second-degree murder, MCL 750.317; MSA 28.549, for the killing of his nineteen-year-old wife, Helen Ann Loyer. Three months later, in June, 1984, he was sentenced to a term of thirty to fifty years imprisonment. Defendant appeals as of right and we affirm, although in doing so we declare unconstitutional a statute in the Code of Criminal Procedure concerning the payment of subpoena fees by the government on behalf of indigent defendants, MCL 775.15; MSA 28.1252.
