LUMPKIN, Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part:
I concur in the results reached by the Court in affirming the conviction for First Degree Murder in this case. I agree with the Court’s determination that principles of collateral estoppel do not bar the prosecution of this charge, however, I do not join in the Court’s statement of the context of the application of the principle. See White v. State, ex rel Hopper, 821 P.2d 378, 382 (Okl.Cr.1991) (Lumpkin, V.P.J., Concur in Results); United States v. Dixon, 509 U.S. -, 113 S.Ct. 2849, 125 L.Ed.2d 556 (1993); United States v. Felix, 503 U.S. 378, 112 S.Ct. 1377, 118 L.Ed.2d 25 (1992); Dowling v. United States, 493 U.S. 342, 110 S.Ct. 668, 107 L.Ed.2d 708 (1990).
I continue to dissent to the Court’s retroactive application of the Life Without Parole sentencing option as set out in my separate votes in Rain v. State, 852 P.2d 744 (Okl.Cr.1993) and Salazar v. State, 859 P.2d 517 (Okl.Cr.1993).
