The opinion
MASON, Justice
(concurring specially).
I believe the statement of law announced in division I to the effect “Error in admission of evidence is not prejudicial where substantially the same evidence is on the record without objection,” is too broad when announced without qualification, limitations or explanations and does not serve as a proper guideline for the trial bench and bar in dealing with the admission and exclusion of evidence.
RAWLINGS, J., joins in this special concurrence.
