ENOCH, Chief Justice,
concurring.
I write separately to make the strong request that the Court of Criminal Appeals reconsider its recent actions. These actions, which ostensibly follow the pre-rules decision in Dingier, not only fail to explain why Dingier ignores a line of the court’s own cases, but make short shrift of rules that ought to be given more than a cursory tip of the hat. Justice Onion’s dissent is the better reasoned course. But for being hog-tied by our superior court, the majority, too, believes the new rules allow admission of the court documents in the pen packet.
