## Opinion text

Pfeifer, J.,
dissenting.
{¶ 69} I dissent from the majority opinion and join Chief Justice Brown’s dissent but for one point: this court has never held applicable to a criminal case the analysis for overturning precedent imposed by a majority of this court in Westfield Ins. Co. v. Galatis, 100 Ohio St.3d 216 , 2003-Ohio-5849 , 797 N.E.2d 1256 . For example, recently in State v. Horner, 126 Ohio St.3d 466 , 2010-Ohio-3830 , 935 N.E.2d 26 , this court overruled State v. Colon, 118 Ohio St.3d 26 , 2008-Ohio-1624 , 885 N.E.2d 917 , and overruled in part State v. Colon, 119 Ohio St.3d 204 , 2008-Ohio-3749 , 893 N.E.2d 169 , with nary a mention of Galatis.
