*341McEWEN, Judge,
concurring and dissenting:
Since I have such respect for the wisdom of my colleagues who compose the majority, I hasten to emphasize that I do not differ with the careful analysis nor the sound rationale of the majority. Rather, my disagreement is restricted to the conclusion I draw from the record before us, and the disposition commanded by that conclusion. Specifically, I am of a mind that the initiation by the district attorney of the subsequent prosecution was a patently retaliatory measure, and, thereby, the presumption of vindictiveness so irrebuttable that no purpose can be served by remanding for a hearing upon that issue.
