CONCURRING OPINION

I do not read the court’s opinion as indicating approval of a prosecuting attorney’s active participation in the prosecution of his former client. It seems to me that such a practice almost invariably raises at least the appearance of a conflict of interest and is to be discouraged. That said, I join in the court’s opinion.
