RAPER, Justice,
specially concurring.
I understand the opinion of the court to say that our ruling is under the due process standard of § 6, Art. 1, Wyoming Constitution, not comparable provisions of the Constitution of the United States. We have been definite in this position and established a policy that our holdings be under the Wyoming Constitution where possible and not the Constitution of the United States, in Vigil v. State, Wyo.1977, 563 P.2d 1344; Raigosa v. State, Wyo.1977, 562 P.2d 1009; Dodge v. State, Wyo.1977, 562 P.2d 303; and, Richmond v. State, Wyo.1976, 554 P.2d 1217.
With that understanding, I concur.
