Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This case is before us without assignments of error. We are asked to examine the record in order to ascertain whether the evidence supports a conviction for rape. Ordinarily we will not examine a record under such circumstances. However, because the offense here involves a heavy sentence or a possible death penalty we have done so. We find that there is no reversible error and that the evidence supports the conviction.

Affirmed.
