BURKE, Justice,
dissenting.
I dissent.
The trial court, in my judgment, abused its discretion when it refused to excuse two of the prospective jurors, Havard and Augestad, for cause. I would follow the lead of those courts which have held that reversal is required under these circumstances. See, e.g., Wasko v. Frankel, 116 Ariz. 288, 569 P.2d 230 (1977); Crawford v. Manning, 542 P.2d 1091 (Utah 1975).
