*669BURNETT, Judge,
specially concurring.
I agree fully with Parts I through V of the foregoing opinion. However, I concur only in the result of Part VI, which discusses the claim by Kay’s attorneys for reimbursement of costs incurred below. I entertain doubt as to whether this is a proper issue to be addressed in an appeal from a judgment of conviction in a criminal case. It might better be addressed in a different proceeding. The parties have not briefed this aspect of the issue and my research has not disclosed a definitive rule.
In any event, the record presented to us does not include a finding, nor does it contain evidence sufficient to support an appellate finding, that Kay actually was indigent when the requests for payment of costs were made and denied below. Accordingly, I would decline to review the orders in question.
