Concurring opinion by
Justice JOHNSTONE.
I continue to believe that this Court seriously erred in Lanier v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Ky., 99 S.W.3d 431 (2003), by changing the long and well-founded law of the Commonwealth concerning the burden of proof in slip and fall cases. See id. at 438 (Johnstone, J., dissenting). Nonetheless, my sworn duty to uphold and follow the law compels me to turn a deaf ear to the call of reason and logic by concurring in the result reached in the majority opinion.
