CR 87-3

723 S.W.2d 373

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered February 9, 1987

Per Curiam.

Petition for Review is denied.

Hickman, J., concurs.

Darrell Hickman, Justice,

concurring. We can do nothing but deny this petition. This is the companion case to Trotter v. State, 290 Ark. 269, 719 S.W.2d 268 (1986). In Trotter a majority reduced the charge on a basis not even argued by the appellant. The court of appeals had no choice except to follow suit.
