On appeal the only contention is that the judgment on this verdict constitutes cruel and unusual punishment as forbidden by the United States Constitution and, consequently, his sentence must be reduced to life imprisonment. This contention is valid. Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 (1972), Graham v. State, 253 Ark. 462, 486 S.W. 2d 675 (1972), and O\u2019Neal v. State, 253 Ark. 574, 487 S.W. 2d 618.\nThe cause is remanded to the trial court for sentencing to life imprisonment which is the next highest available remedy. Ark. Stat. Ann. \u00a7 43-2308 (Repl. 1964).\nAffirmed as modified and remanded.",
