Tom Glaze, Justice, concurring. I concur with the result ticby e, majority. However, to the extent the majority opinion relies on Whitley v. Cranford, 354 Ark. 253, 119 S.W.3d 28 (2003), I strongly disagree. The Whitley decision is completely in conflict with Files v. Hill, 268 Ark. 106, 594 S.W.2d 836 (1980), and should be overruled. In her dissenting opinion in Whitley, Justice Imber set forth the correct analysis, explaining why the Whitley decision is wrong.
