1Opinion of the Court
SNYDER, Judge.
Wallace Spivey, a pre-lingually deaf person, appeals from a judgment convicting him of capital murder in violation of Sec. 565.001 RSMo. 1978 (repealed 1983) and Sec. 565.006 RSMo. 1978 (Cum.Supp.1982, repealed 1983). A jury found appellant guilty and imposed a sentence of life imprisonment without probation or parole for fifty years. Appellant correctly argued that inadmissible evidence of past criminal acts prejudiced his trial. The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial.
