I concur in judgment and opinion concerning the first two assignments of error. However, because I believe the trial court should have afforded the appellant an opportunity for a hearing on the motion "in abeyance," I dissent concerning the third assignment of error. While I do not disagree with the logic behind the majority's decision, questions concerning the timing of the objection to attorney Knight's testimony and his professional relationship with the appellant should have been explored through evidentiary materials.
