LARSEN, Justice,
concurring.
I join the majority opinion.
The initial societal burden of Judge Spaeth’s order would have been the clandestine changing of the defendant’s crime and sentence from a minimum of life imprisonment to another crime and sentence which made the defendant eligible for immediate release and parole. The odious nature of Judge Spaeth’s proceedings is the antithesis of American jurisprudence. Star Chamber proceedings were abolished in antiquity and any attempt to resurrect them should not be condoned by this Court. The dispensing of injustice is always in the right hands. (Stanislaus Lee)
