## Opinion text

NIX, Chief Justice,
concurring.
I join the majority opinion.
Although I still have reservations as to the fundamental fairness of a “death qualified” jury for the reasons set forth in Commonwealth v. Maxwell, 505 Pa. 152, 170 , 477 A.2d 1309, 1319 (1984) (Nix, C.J., dissenting), I must concede that it is the law of this Commonwealth.
