- finding prosecutor’s theory of how victim died was not inflammatory speculation, but rather a reasonable inference from the evidence

## Opinion text

LANE, Judge,
concurring in results.
I concur in results by reason of stare deci-sis. I still maintain that 22 O.S.Supp.1996, § 984-984.2 does not apply during the second stage of a Murder in the First Degree trial. Only 21 O.S.Supp.1996, § 701.10 applies. *1117 See my special vote in Ledbetter v. State, 933 P.2d 880, 902-03 (Okl.Cr.1997).
