NIX, Justice,
concurring.
I agree with the conclusion expressed by Mr. Justice Roberts in his opinion that the sentence of death in this case must be set aside and a life sentence imposed. The sole basis for my conclusion is that the Legislature expressed no intention to apply the Act of September 13, 19781 to an offense which occurred in 1974. 1 Pa.C.S. § 1926.

. Act of September 13, 1978, P.L. 756, No. 141, § 1, 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 9711.
