TATE, Justice
(concurs in the result).
I concur in the result. I have especial reservations as to dicta in connection with the disposition of Bills 19-21 and 86, reiterating approval of recent expressions of this court in State v. Terrebonne, 256 La. 385, 236 So.2d 773 (1970) and State v. Hudson, 253 La. 992, 221 So.2d 484. These decisions were rendered by a closely di*851vided court and included holdings and dicta which should be re-examined. Although not agreeing with the rational of the majority opinion in all respects, the writer agrees that the conviction should be affirmed, since errors complained of, to the extent the complaint is valid, did not result in a miscarriage of justice, were not prejudicial to the substantial rights of the accused, and did not constitute a substantial violation of a constitutional or statutory right of the accused, under all the circumstances shown by the entire record. La.C.Crim.P. Art. 921.
