Brazil, J.,
concurring: While I concur in the result, I have an additional concern with the information herein which charges the defendant with “unlawfully, willfully [and] unintentionally” killing a human being. (Emphasis added.)
The words “unlawfully” and “willfully” are not to be found in K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 21-3405a.
Obviously, defendant’s actions could not be both willful and unintentional. As stated in the majority’s opinion, it is not necessary to use the exact words of the statute, but the meaning must be clear.
