## Opinion text

UHLENHOPP, Justice
(concurring in result).
Our consideration should be limited to objections made in the trial court. Those objections consisted of a constitutional attack upon the statute on its face. As to those objections, I concur in division V of the court’s opinion and in division I of the special concurrence.
