ROGOSHESKE, Justice
(dissenting).
I not only share the views expressed by Justice Otis, but I disagree with the formu*289lation of the forfeiture rule contained in State v. White, 300 Minn. 99, 219 N.W.2d 89 (1974), and followed by the majority in this case. In my view, the forfeiture rule should apply only when two circumstances are present-first, when the prosecutor has properly charged the defendant with the multiple offenses in district court, see State v. Reiland, 274 Minn. 121, 142 N.W.2d 635 (1966); and, second, when the splitting of the prosecutions has been caused by either defendant’s use of a guilty plea or defendant’s request for severance.
