The opinion

BUSSEY, Judge,

specially concurring.

I agree that the judgment and sentence in this case should be affirmed. However, I am of the opinion that a proportionality review of death sentences is unnecessary. Such was our holding in Foster v. State, 714 P.2d 1031 (Okl.Cr.1986) and Ross v. State, 717 P.2d 117 , which were decided subsequent to Green v. State, 713 P.2d 1032 (Okl.Cr.1985).
