The opinion
MANDERINO, Justice,
concurring.
I join in the majority opinion of Mr. Justice Roberts. I add, however, that the appellant, who had no prior criminal record, has already suffered more punishment than can possibly be justified under the circumstances. On remand, the trial court should promptly order appellant discharged.
