1Opinion of the CourtBashara, P. J.
Defendant appeals from a jury verdict convicting him of first-degree murder.1 The information alleged an open charge of murder, but cited the first-degree murder statute.2
It is claimed by defendant that there was insufficient evidence presented to support the issuance of a complaint and warrant for his arrest. When arraigned on the information, defendant entered a plea without raising this objection. Consequently, if there was any defect in the complaint and warrant, it was thereby waived.
