CATES, Presiding Judge
(concurring specially).
I think that the next to the last paragraph of Judge Harris’s opinion puts the trial judge in the position of having no discretion in sentencing where counsel for the parties have attempted to agree. See Aaron v. State, 43 Ala.App. 450, 192 So.2d 456.
However, I vote to reverse but solely because the prosecuting and defense attorneys failed to put their agreement in writing. See Rule 14, Rules of Practice in Circuit * * *° Courts, Sup.Ct. Rule 20 and Rule 47, ARAP.
