      (1) The indictment should have been dismissed because the statute under which he was indicted was amended prior to trial; (2) The punishment provided by statute is cruel and unusual in violation of the Eighth Amendment; (3) The court should have granted his motion to suppress and should not have permitted a box of ammunition to be admitted into evidence; and (4) His prison and fingerprint records should not have been admitted into evidence.
