JUSTICE CAPPY DECIDED: November 22, 2002 Although I find myself attracted to the sound jurisprudential argument set forth by the learned author of the dissent, I am constrained to acknowledge the pragmatic view offered by the majority in recognizing that a sentence of death is different. Accordingly, I join only in the result offered by the majority opinion.
