JOINT CONCURRING OPINION
The opinion of this Court in State v. Whitfield, 107 S.W.3d 253 (Mo. banc 2003), is now a final judgment. Although we dissented from that opinion, we must follow the decisions of this Court, even if we disagree, or even if the decision appears to be in error. See State ex rel. Simmons v. Roper, 112 S.W.3d 397 (Mo. banc 2003) (Price, J., dissenting); Article VI, U.S. Constitution; Article V, sec. 2, Mo. Constitution.
