PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Plaintiff-Appellee, v DANIEL LEE WOLFE, Defendant-Appellant.

UNPUBLISHED February 12, 1999

No. 193139 Jackson Circuit Court LC No. 95-073557 FC

Before: Fitzgerald, P.J., and Holbrook, Jr. and O'Connell, JJ. PER CURIAM. Following a jury trial, defendant was convicted of first-degree felony-murder, MCL 750.316; MSA 28.548, armed robbery, MCL 750.529; MSA 28.797, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, MCL 750.227b; MSA 28.242(2). The convictions arise from the armed robbery and murder of Donald Reynolds, the owner of the Silver Rail Bar in Jackson County, during the early morning hours of September 3-4, 1980. The circuit court vacated the armed robbery conviction on double jeopardy grounds and sentenced defendant to life imprisonment without parole for the first degree murder conviction and to a consecutive two-year term for the felony-firearm conviction. Defendant appeals as of right. We affirm. I Defendant first claims that excessive prearrest delay between the crimes and his arrest for those crimes denied him his due process right to a fair trial. We disagree. Procedural due process protects an accused from excessive delay between the commission of an offense and his arrest for that offense. US Const Am XIV; Const 1963, art 1,
