Rawlings, J.
I respectfully dissent. Disapproval by the. majority of a jury instruction as to weight and credibility to be singularly accorded testimony by an accused is certainly commendable.
However, I would condemn it, and upon that basis am unable to agree with Division III of the majority opinion. See *945dissent in State v. Ford, 259 Iowa 744, 755, 145 N.W.2d 638, 644.
I would reverse and remand for a new trial.
Mason and Becker, JJ., join in this dissent.
