Opinion:
KIMBALL, Justice .
On June 25, 1993 we granted rehearing in this matter with the following order:
Rehearing granted. Counsel will be appointed for the defendant who has heretofore been unrepresented in this court after his appointed counsel was purportedly relieved of representation by the defendant. This case will be scheduled for reargument.
Following our reevaluation of this case as presented in brief and oral argument by the defendant's newly appointed counsel, we adopt our original opinion in this matter and reinstate it as the opinion on rehearing, 626 So.2d 707. Although we now reaffirm our original opinion in this matter, because of the unusual procedural posture of this case, counsel mil not be precluded from again seeking rehearing within the applicable time delay. Sup.Ct. Rule IX, § 5.
