Georgia, 408 U.S. 238, 92 S.Ct. 2726, 33 L.Ed.2d 346 (1972), the United States Supreme Court vacated the judgment herein insofar as it left undisturbed the death penalty imposed and remanded this case to this Court for further proceedings. — U.S. -, 93 S.Ct. 1532, 36 L.Ed.2d 192 (Decided March 26, 1973)

Accordingly, in compliance with the Mandate of the United States Supreme Court, the death sentence imposed upon defendant is annulled and set aside, and the case is remanded to the Twenty-First Judicial District Court with instructions to the trial judge to sentence the defendant to life imprisonment.
