McCLINTOCK, Justice,
specially concurring.
I concur in the affirmance of the conviction and with most of what has been said in the opinion. However, reference therein to Blakely v. State, Wyo., 542 P.2d 857, 863 (1975) as to the “standard of review which this court must follow” leaves me with the same misgivings as I expressed in my dissent in that case. I think that the instruction given in this case, which I interpret to be in line with previous decisions of this court, perhaps overruled in Blakely, became the law of the case and we should analyze the evidence to determine whether the conviction was consistent with those rules. I find the evidence to comply with that requirement and therefore concur in the conviction.
