MASON, Justice
(dissenting).
In Division I of the majority opinion the court considers defendant’s contention the trial court erred in overruling his objection to the State’s cross-examination of Mrs. Pepples and concludes the trial court acted within its discretion. I disagree because I believe the objection should have been sustained and that the court abused its discretion in ruling otherwise.
In Division V, the majority, although disapproving the prosecutor’s demonstration during final argument, holds that it was technically within the scope of the evidence at trial. I disagree. I believe the demonstration constituted reversible error.
I therefore dissent.
