Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The judgments of conviction and sentences under review are affirmed upon a holding that the substance of the improperly admitted criminal convictions of the defendant herein had already been properly placed before the jury upon the state's cross-examination of the defendant's character witnesses herein. As such, we think the evidence error here was harmless under the circumstances of this case. Culberson v.
