MAUS, Presiding Judge,
concurring.
I concur. However, I do not find it is necessary to determine if the defendant’s statement of recognition he was on parole is admissible upon the issue of the degree of his intoxication. The state impermissi-bly over-emphasized and used this statement to create prejudice against the defendant. Compare State v. Nickens, 403 S.W.2d 582 (Mo. banc 1966); State v. Willis, 602 S.W.2d 9 (Mo.App.1980); MAI-CR2d 3.60.
