## Opinion text

HUTCHINSON, Justice,
concurring.
I join the majority in this case because I believe the “interests of justice” are better served by reopening the suppression hearing to consider the Sixth Amendment claim than by suffering a possible collateral attack on the conviction by a charge of ineffectiveness.
