## Opinion text

LeGRAND, Justice
(dissenting).
I believe the admission of blood dynamics evidence was subject to the infirmities listed in Justice McCormick’s special concurrence, but I am unable to agree that the error is cured by taking judicial notice of “certain principles of physics.”
I therefore dissent from the result reached by the majority.
