## Opinion text

Hood, J.
(concurring). I am not convinced that testimony concerning the borrowing of the books on "How to Kill” or the solicitation of assistance in killing a woman who was allegedly blackmailing defendant’s father was relevant to prove the premeditation of the murder of defendant’s father. Since, however, objection to the former testimony was withdrawn, and no objection was made to the latter, the claims are not preserved for appeal absent manifest injustice.
