By the Court,

Steffen, J.:

Appellant, Harry A. Sanborn, was convicted by a jury of first degree murder with use of a deadly weapon and sentenced to two consecutive terms of life without the possibility of parole. Thereafter Sanborn filed a petition for post-conviction relief and a motion for a new trial. Both were denied. In these consolidated appeals, Sanborn challenges his conviction and the denial of his post-trial petitions for relief. Our review of the record reveals prejudicial error requiring a new trial. We therefore reverse and remand.
