## Opinion text

Concurring Opinion
Givan, J.
I have concurred in the result in Judge Hunter’s opinion in this case. However, I do not agree with his observation that the reading and signing of the waiver of his constitutional rights by the appellant was inadequate. I believe the record in this case clearly demonstrates that the appellant was fully and adequately advised of his constitutional rights.
Arterburn, C. J., concurs.
