## Opinion text

ROBERTS, Justice,
concurring.
I agree with the majority that appellant is entitled to a new trial because the trial court failed to instruct the jury on the elements of the underlying felonies which could form the basis of a felony murder verdict. Since appellant is entitled to a new trial on this ground, there is no need to reach the other issues addressed by the majority.
