ROBERTS, Justice
(concurring).
I agree with Part II of the majority opinion and concur in the result because appellant’s own course of conduct precluded the Commonwealth from prosecuting all of the indictments in a single trial. Because the dual proceeding was necessitated by appellant’s decision, he may not now argue that it was error not to try all charges together.
Thus whether Commonwealth v. Campana, 452 Pa. 233, 304 A.2d 432 (1973), should be applied is not presented on these facts. Part I of the majority opinion is therefore not necessary to the resolution of the case and is dicta.
NIX, J., joins in this concurring opinion.
