State v. Wilson, 342 So. 2d 670

PER CURIAM.

On September 27, 1973, the Orleans Parish Grand Jury indicted defendant, Junius Wilson, for the crime of aggravated rape. La.R.S. 14:42. Defendant was tried, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. We affirm.

ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR NO. 1

Defendant‘s failure to object to the alleged error complained of constituted a waiver of his objection. La.C.Cr.P. art. 841; State v. Brown, 329 So.2d 701 (La.1976). This assignment lacks merit.

ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR NO. 2

Defendant could properly be questioned as to a court martial conviction. We have previously held that La.R.S. 15:495 contemplates “the use of evidence of a conviction for the violation of a penal provision for which imprisonment can be imposed.” State v. Bradford, 298 So.2d 781, 792 (La. 1974). The conviction in question fulfills that requirement. See 10 U.S.C.A. § 856. This assignment lacks merit.

ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR NO. 3

This assignment was expressly abandoned.

Accordingly, defendant‘s conviction and sentence are affirmed.
