## Opinion text

MOSK, J.
The circumstances of this case induce me to concur under compulsion of People v. Dixon (1979) 24 Cal.3d 43 [ 154 Cal.Rptr. 236 , 592 P.2d 752 ],
If presented with more compelling facts in a future case, I might well urge this court to consider anew whether Dixon adequately serves judicial economy, the best interests of the defendant and the ends of justice.
