BAKES, Justice,
concurring in the result:
I concur in the result in this matter, recognizing that since this case was briefed and argued to this Court the Supreme Court of the United States has substantially changed the standard for proving a cause of action under 42 U.S.C. 1983 in the case of Daniels v. Williams, 474 U.S. 327, 106 S.Ct. 662, 88 L.Ed.2d 662 (1986). It would be better if we briefed and reargued this matter prior to issuing an opinion. If counsel feel that the Daniels case is significant in evaluating the facts of this case, we may well need to rehear it.
