LOHR, Justice,
specially concurring.
I agree with the result reached by the majority. As detailed in part V of the majority opinion, the record does not support a contention that the prosecution peremptorily challenged Spanish-surnamed venirepersons for discriminatory reasons. Under these circumstances, it is unnecessary to address the difficult constitutional issues discussed in detail in the majority opinion, and I think it inadvisable to do so. See People v. Fields, 697 P.2d 749, 761 (Colo.App.1984) (Kelly, J., specially concurring).
