The opinion

BOLIN, Justice

(concurring in part and dissenting in part).

I concur in denying Clay C. Slagle’s motion to “disqualify” Special Justice Bernard Harwood. I continue to agree with Justice Shaw’s well reasoned special writing issued on original submission; therefore, I dissent from the overruling of the application for rehearing.
