Heading: sufficiency of evidence for use of weapon to commit felony

Text: Redmond next argues that the evidence was insufficient to convict him of use of a weapon to commit a felony when he was convicted of second degree murder but was charged with first degree murder. The information stated that Redmond did use a firearm, to commit a felony which may be prosecuted in a court of this state, to-wit: Murder in the First Degree. We read the reference to first degree murder to be an example of a felony upon which the use of a weapon charge might be based, and not as the exclusive felony providing the basis for the charge. The information charged Redmond with use of a weapon to commit a felony. Redmond was indeed convicted of a felony. We determine that this assignment of error is without merit.
