ROBERTS, Judge
(concurring).
My dissenting opinion on original submission is withdrawn. The Supreme Court of the United States has resolved the questions I had about the constitutionality of Art. 37.071(b)(2), Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P., in Jurek v. Texas, - U.S. -, 96 S.Ct. 2950, 48 L.Ed.2d -, 19 Cr.L. 3282 (1976). See also Gregg v. Georgia, - U.S. -, 96 S.Ct. 2950, 48 L.Ed.2d -, 19 Cr.L. 3250 (1976), and Proffitt v. Florida, - U.S. -, 96 S.Ct. 2960, 48 L.Ed.2d -, 19 Cr.L. 3276 (1976).
I agree that the motion for rehearing should be overruled.
