Justice LAMB,
Concurring.
I join the majority in holding that the Pennsylvania Shield Law, 42 Pa.C.S. § 5942, does not protect Mark Bowden and Linn Washington, Jr. from disclosing Brian Tyson’s statements. I write separately, however, to express my disagreement with the majority’s conclusion that the facts of In re Taylor, 412 Pa. 32, 193 A.2d 181 (1963), are distinguishable from the instant case. As I would expressly overrule In re Taylor, I concur.
