1Opinion of the Court

David Newbern, Justice.

Willie Earl Jones was convicted of five drug-related offenses and sentenced as an habitual criminal with four or more prior offenses to 37 years imprisonment. We reversed the conviction. Jones v. State, 317 Ark. 587, 880 S.W.2d 522 (1994). Upon retrial Mr. Jones was again convicted on five counts and sentenced to life imprisonment. Mr. Jones appeals only from one delivery count. He contends the evidence is insufficient because the State failed to prove drugs were delivered by him in exchange for money or something of value. We hold the evidence was sufficient and affirm.
