RATLIFF, Chief Judge,
concurring.
Ind. Trial Rule 59(J)(7) clearly requires a court granting a new trial because the decision is against the weight of the evidence to make findings which relate the supporting and opposing evidence. That, the trial court did not do. Our supreme court in State v. White (1985), Ind., 474 N.E.2d 995, held failure to make such findings required reversal. The supreme court in White reversed our decision remanding to the trial court for adequate findings and directed the trial court to enter judgment on the verdict. We must do the same here. Thus, I concur solely on the basis of the decision in White.
