HIGGINS, Judge,
concurring.
I agree with the principal opinion in its concession that Missouri v. Hunter, 459 U.S. 359, 103 S.Ct. 673, 74 L.Ed.2d 535 (1983), “does not control” this case. The Hunter discussion is thus extraneous, and I look to that part of the opinion that cites and applies Illinois v. Vitale, 447 U.S. 410, 100 S.Ct. 2260, 65 L.Ed.2d 228 (1980), and Brown v. Ohio, 432 U.S. 161, 97 S.Ct. 2221, 53 L.Ed.2d 187 (1977), to support its judgment.
I agree that Vitale and Brown are dis-positive of the limited issue in this case; and for that reason, I concur.
