## Opinion text

ROBERTS, Judge,
dissenting.
I agree with Judge Clinton that the objections made during voir dire were sufficient to have preserved the grounds for review. See generally my dissenting opinion in Crawford v. State, 617 S.W.2d 925, 937 (1980). Venire Member Schlosser was excused on an improper basis. Because of the violation of the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments, the judgment should be reformed to confinement for life. Evans v. State, 614 S.W.2d 414, 418 (1980) (Roberts, J., dissenting), reh. denied April 29, 1981.
