Nichols, Presiding Justice,
dissenting.
On March 30,1973 the Grand Jury of Fulton County returned an indictment charging the defendant with two counts of armed robbery which occurred on February 16, 1973. He was tried on June 11, 1973. A verdict finding him guilty on each count was returned, and the jury sentenced him to life imprisonment on count one and twenty years on count two. The trial court sentenced the *110defendant in accordance with the jury’s finding and provided that such sentences should be served consecutively.
While I dissent for the reasons stated by Mr. Justice Undercofler in Wade v. State, 231 Ga. 131 (200 SE2d 271), yet, since the opinion in the case sub judice makes the decision in Wade retroactive I would dissent for this additional reason.
I am authorized to state that Justice Undercofler joins in this dissent.
