SABERS, Justice
(concurring in result).
Although I generally concur in the majority decision, I would not address the merits of the ineffective assistance of counsel claim. As the majority notes, we have repeatedly held that such issues are best addressed in habeas corpus. State v. Picotte, 416 N.W.2d 881 (S.D.1987); State v. Schulz, 409 N.W.2d 655 (S.D.1987); State v. Aliberti, 401 N.W.2d 729 (S.D.1987); State v. Davis, 401 N.W.2d 721 (S.D.1987); State v. Anderson, 387 N.W.2d 544 (S.D.1986); State v. Dornbusch, 384 N.W.2d 682 (S.D.1986); State v. Means, 363 N.W.2d 565 (S.D.1985); State v. Hammond, 357 N.W.2d 278 (S.D.1984); State v. Tchida, 347 N.W.2d 338 (S.D.1984); State v. Iron Shell, 336 N.W.2d 372 (S.D.1983); State v. Phipps, 318 N.W.2d 128 (S.D.1982); State v. McBride, 296 N.W.2d 551 (S.D.1980). There is no compelling reason to depart from that practice here.
