WINTERSHEIMER, Justice,
dissenting.
I most respectfully dissent from the majority opinion because I believe the law of Kentucky requires an Orr v. Coleman type instruction in any case involving apportionment. The better practice would be for this court to fashion a specific holding which would require the giving of such an instruction in every case of this nature.
The lengthy and learned discussions of the general propriety of such instruction in both the majority and other dissenting opinion leads me to the conclusion that the only logical and legally correct result is to remand this case for a new trial in which the Orr v. Coleman instruction is given, even though it was not originally requested in the first proceedings.
