DeCARLO, Judge.
Second degree murder; fifty years.
On July 18, 1979, Earl Lee McClendon was found dead with approximately fourteen bullet wounds on his body and a machete by his side. Appellant was tried twice for the murder of McClendon. His first trial resulted in a conviction of first degree murder and a sentence of life imprisonment. He then moved for a new trial and, after a hearing on the motion, he moved to dismiss the indictment. The trial court denied his motion to dismiss the indictment, but granted his motion for a new trial, set aside his conviction, and ordered a new trial date.
