The majority of the Court of Criminal Appeals held, based on all the circumstances, that the trial court did not err in allowing part of the voir dire examination of the police officer to be conducted in the presence of the jury. I believe that the majority of that court correctly held that the objection made by the defendant's counsel was not specific enough to require a reversal in this case.
On certiorari review, a majority of this Court sets out in its opinion many of the facts surrounding the event upon which it bases its reversal of Miller's conviction. I do not believe that the trial court's conduct was so prejudicial that a reversal is warranted; therefore, I must respectfully dissent.
