The opinion

WALKER, Chief Justice,

concurring.

I concur with Justice Brookshire’s opinion with an “AMEN” and especially approve the last two paragraphs thereof.

I recognize that we are dealing with an absolute question of law matter and a photograph cannot and should not be probative to the answer. One might argue that to even consider the photograph begs sympathy. Sympathy has no part in my concurrence.

A jurist once proclaimed that he could not define pornography, but he recognized it when he saw it. I may not know how to perfectly define the word “person”, but I sure can recognize one when I see one.
