MORGAN, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in the result. I do not agree that this case is distinguishable from State v. Spirit Track, 272 N.W.2d 803 (S.D.1978); but the arraignment was held prior to that decision. Although we did not announce in Spirit,Track whether the holding was prospective or retrospective following the reasoning of this court in Crew v. Nelson, 88 S.D. 162, 216 N.W.2d 565 (1974), it appears that Spirit Track should be given prospective effect only.
