D. F. Walsh, P.J.
(concurring in part and dissenting in part). I concur in the result. I write separately to express my disagreement with the majority’s conclusion that it was error resulting in manifest injustice for the prosecution to question defense witness Foster as to her prior appearances as a witness for the defense. If witness Foster regularly appears in criminal cases as a witness for defendants, that fact, it seems to me, would certainly affect her credibility in this case and the *730prosecutor had a right to bring that to the attention of the jury.
Because of the mandate of People v McBride, 413 Mich 341; 319 NW2d 535 (1982), I agree that it was reversible error to impeach defense witness Burrell with evidence of a prior unnamed felony conviction.
