The opinion

McCORMICK, Presiding Judge,

dissenting.

On May 29, 1990, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Grady v. Corbin, — U.S. -, 110 S.Ct. 2084 , 109 L.Ed.2d 548 . My reading of Grady convinces me that the opinion in this cause is blatantly incorrect.

For this reason, I dissent.
