Lawrence Edward BENSON v. STATE of Arkansas
    CR 87-3
    723 S.W.2d 373
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered February 9, 1987
   Per Curiam.

Petition for Review is denied.

Hickman, J., concurs.

Darrell Hickman, Justice,

concurring. We can do nothing but deny this petition. This is the companion case to Trotter v. State, 290 Ark. 269, 719 S.W.2d 268 (1986). In Trotter a majority reduced the charge on a basis not even argued by the appellant. The court of appeals had no choice except to follow suit.
