Concurring Opinion
Givan, C.J.
I concur in the result only of the majority opinion. I do not believe the statements contained in the opinion concerning the giving of State’s instructions numbered 1 and 2 are germane to the issues. If mentioned at all in an opinion of this Court, it should simply be stated that the question was not properly preserved on appeal. I think it is misleading and confusing to a practicing bar to infer that the instructions should not have been given over objection and implying that the opinion would overrule the Gann case. I think dicta of this sort should be eliminated from any opinion handed down by this Court. I therefore concur in the result only in this case.
Pivarnik, J., concurs.
