## Opinion text

BOLIN, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur with Justice Stuart’s special writing, both as to my identical initial reaction to this Court’s decision in Ex parte Bayliss, 550 So.2d 986 (Ala.1989), described therein when Bayliss was released, as well as this being the time to “admit[ ] prior mistakes and correct[ ] them.” Jackson v. City of Florence, 294 Ala. 592, 598 , 320 So.2d 68, 73 (1975).
