I concur fully in the majority opinion, except as to Part III. The defendant Oliver asserted both in the trial court and here that6-11-21, Ala. Code 1975, applied in this case. However, because she did not ask this Court to revisit Henderson v. Alabama PowerCo., 627 So.2d 878 (Ala. 1993) (holding 6-11-21 unconstitutional as violating the right to trial by jury secured to the citizens of this state by Art. I, 11, Ala. Const. of 1901), I would confine any reference to 6-11-21 to an observation that, on remand, the trial court should consider whether that statute has a constitutionally permissible field of operation in this nonjury case. *Page 806
