SEARS, Justice,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I concur in the majority’s affirmance of appellant’s adjudication of guilt. However, due only to the concerns I expressed in my partial dissent to Wilson v. State,2 I dissent to Division 25 of the majority opinion, and to the affirmance of the death penalty only to the extent that it requires death by electrocution.
I am authorized to state that Chief Justice Benham joins me in this partial concurrence and partial dissent.
