## Opinion text

PARKS, Judge,
concurring in results:
I find that the second stage jury instructions were in accord with Mills v. Maryland, 486 U.S. 367 , 108 S.Ct. 1860 , 100 L.Ed.2d 384 (1988). I am not prepared to state that Mills is inapplicable per se in Oklahoma, nor do I find that this Court made such a determination in Stiles. See Majority at 176.
