Dissenting Opinion by: Catherine Stone, Justice

AFFIRMED

A jury found James Guevara guilty as a party to the murder of his wife, Velia Guevara, and sentenced him to life in prison and a $10,000 fine. Velia died on May 26, 1993 of multiple gun shot wounds. The murder weapon was never found. Guevara raises several issues on appeal, complaining of the sufficiency of the evidence, error in the jury charge, prosecutorial misconduct, and ineffective assistance of counsel. We overrule each issue, and affirm.
