Bashara, J.
(dissenting). I respectfully dissent. The majority holds that People v Joeseype Johnson, 407 Mich 196; 284 NW2d 718 (1979), is to be applied retroactively.
I rely on the case of People v Starghill, 99 Mich App 790; 298 NW2d 641 (1980), and the cases cited therein, particularly, People v Burk, 238 Mich 485, 489; 213 NW 717 (1927), and People v Hampton, 384 Mich 669, 674; 187 NW2d 404 (1971), for the holding that Johnson, supra, should not be applied retroactively.
Accordingly, I would affirm the conviction.
