The opinion
Concurring Statement by
KLEIN, J.:
¶ 1 I fully agree with and join in the thorough and cogent opinion of my distinguished colleague, the Honorable Joan Orie Melvin. I write separately only to note that numerous other issues were raised by defendant Baxter and our decision should be without prejudice to his right to raise them again after the sentence is imposed.
¶ 2 LALLY-GREEN, and BOWES, JJ. Join.
