punishable by death or life imprisonment by a person never before convicted of a crime which at the
time of conviction thereof would constitute a felony in this state, a court having jurisdiction of the
defendant, if satisfied that the ends of justice and the best interest of the public as well as the

sentence without diminishment or credit for any of the probationary period.
Section 2. That the code be amended by adding a NEW SECTION to read:
