The opinion

*784 Chief Justice EXUM

concurring.

Were the Court deciding for the first time the issue of the admissibility of the testimony of Dr. Schaffer and Dr. Schroeder, I would hold this testimony admissible only for corroborative purposes for the reasons stated by then Chief Justice Billings, dissenting, in State v. Aguallo, 318 N.C. 590 , 350 S.E. 2d 76 (1986). Since the majority opinion in Aguaito controls this issue favorably to the state’s position and I am bound thereby, I concur in the opinion and decision here.
