The opinion

BLOODWORTH, Justice.

(Concurring in part and dissenting in part.)

I concur with the majority opinion authored by Justice Jones as to I. — that the pre-Furman classification of “capital cases” are still so classified, allowing bail to *87 be constitutionally denied for those offenses so classified — if “the proof is evident or the presumption great.” As to II.A., I agree with the assumption that the testimony is corroborated if that issue needs to be reached.

I dissent from the holding in II.B.

MERRILL and MADDOX, JJ., concur.
