## Opinion text

DISSENTING OPINION TO DENIAL OF STATE’S MOTION FOR REHEARING WITHOUT WRITTEN OPINION
McCORMICK, Judge.
For the reasons set forth in my dissenting opinion in Pierson v. State, 614 S.W.2d 102 (1981), I dissent to the action of the majority in reversing and remanding a judgment of guilt that is admittedly free of error. Pursuant to the motion filed by the State, the judgment in this cause should be reformed to reflect a punishment of life imprisonment.
DALLY, J., joins.
