1Opinion of the Court

George Rose Smith, Justice.

The appellant Allen was charged with aggravated robbery with a firearm and with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. At his first, trial he was found guilty, but that conviction was reversed for error in the exclusion of testimony. Allen v. State, 277 Ark. 380, 641 S.W.2d 710(1982). A second trial resulted in a hung jury. At a third trial Allen was again found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment for the aggravated robbery and to a concurrent six-year term for the other offense. We find no merit in his arguments for reversal.
