I concur. However, I write to note that once again this Court has applied the United States Supreme Court's opinion inBMW of North America, Inc. v. Gore, 517 U.S. ___,116 S.Ct. 1589, 134 L.Ed.2d 809 (1996), without addressing the primary issue raised by the Supreme Court — how a defendant may be assured of adequate notice of the conduct that will subject him to punishment and adequate notice of the severity of the punishment he might expect for such conduct. See my dissent inForemost Ins. Co. v. Parham, 693 So.2d 409 (Ala. 1997).
