The opinion

Paul E. Danielson, Justice, concurring.

I would address the State’s waiver argument and would hold that the State’s reliance on Edens v. State, 235 Ark. 996 , 363 S.W.2d 923 (1963), is simply misplaced. Because I agree with the majority’s analy-' sis and disposition' on the merits of McClinton’s argument, I respectfully concur.
