The opinion

PHILLIPS, Judge,

dissenting.

I dissent from the majority’s disposition of appellant’s ground of error complaining of a violation of Witherspoon v. Illinois, 391 U.S. 510 , 88 S.Ct. 1770 , 20 L.Ed.2d 776 (1968). For the purposes of this dissent I adopt the reasoning of Part I of Judge Roberts’ dissent in Shippy v. State, Tex.Cr., 556 S.W.2d 246 at 257 .

ROBERTS, J., joins in this dissent.
