concurring in part and dissenting in part. I concur with the judgment of the majority in its affirmance of, in all respects, the judgment of the court of appeals in case No. 93-1887. I dissent from the judgment of the majority in case No. 93-2084. I, once again, would affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.

Resnick and F.E. Sweeney, JJ., concur in the foregoing opinion.
