GUTHRIE, Justice (Retired),
specially concurring.
I reluctantly concur.
I have a strong disagreement with the opinion and disposal of the preceding case of State v. Sodergren, Wyo., 686 P.2d 521 (1984), and had I been a participant in its disposal, would have joined the dissents of Justices Rose and Cardine. It is my view that I must accept that disposition as the law insofar as it is applicable to this case.
I do this because a fair and proper judicial system must recognize the force and application of the doctrine of stare decisis. Thus it would be improper to indulge myself in an explanation of my personal views as contrasted to that case.
