*850SULLIVAN, Justice,
concurring m part and dissenting in part.
I concur with the majority’s opinion in this case except as to Part IV from which I respectfully dissent. It seems clear to me that the judge here was “declaring himself for a lengthy sentence” in advance of receiving the pre-sentence investigation report required by Ind.Code § 35-38-1-8 (Supp.1997) and other pre-requisites to making the sentencing decision. As such, I believe the requirements of Ind.Crim. Rule 12(B) for a change of judge have been met.
