I concur in the result reached in Part VI of the majority opinion on the authority of Reese v. State, 456 So.2d 341, 346,347 (Ala.Cr.App. 1982), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 838,104 S.Ct. 127, 78 L.Ed.2d 124 (1983) (wherein the court recognized that an indictment need not "fully describe the overt act that was performed towards the commission of the offense" and held that "the word 'attempt' in an indictment, when coupled with the other necessary elements describing the substantive offense, is sufficient to apprise an accused with reasonable certainty of the nature of the accusation against him").
