FLAHERTY, Justice,
concurring.
I concur in the result reached by the majority, but.I must respectfully disagree with the analysis employed in the discussion of the propriety of introduction of evidence connecting appellant to Dougherty’s murder in the instant case. Quite simply, appellant was acquitted of that offense. Appellant’s acquittal of the Dougherty murder precludes the existence of any evidence of his involvement in that crime, thus, there can be no evidence of appellant’s involvement in Dougherty’s murder admitted on any theory.
