OPINION

GRANT, Justice.

This is an appeal by Kelton Lamont Morris from a capital murder conviction for which he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Morris contends: (1) that there was insufficient evidence to prove that Morris acted as a primary actor; (2) that there was insufficient evidence to support a conviction for capital murder because there was no evidence to prove that an accomplice committed the murder; and (3) that the trial court erred in failing to apply the law of parties to the facts of the case in the application paragraph of the charge and in separate paragraphs.
