The opinion

Boslaugh, J.,

concurring.

I concur in the opinion and judgment of the court except as to the analysis and review of death penalty cases required by Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-2521.03 (Reissue 1979).

I adhere to the construction of the statute adopted by the court in State v. Williams, 205 Neb. 56 , 287 N.W.2d 18 (1979).
