CLINTON, Judge,
dissenting.
For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Hill v. State, 640 S.W.2d 879 (Tex.Cr.App.1982), I believe that the application paragraph in the charge in the instant case fairly required the jury to consider all elements of the offense of aggravated robbery in order to find the guilt of appellant. The present majority continues to adhere to Evans v. State, 606 S.W.2d 880 (Tex.Cr.App.1980), and no doubt will do so in every similarly situated cause. To dissent to each such disposition in the immediate future is a futile gesture. For now, this is the last one from the writer.
I respectfully dissent.
DALLY and W.C. DAVIS, JJ., join.
