## Opinion text

I applaud the majority for deciding to overrule Hurth v. State, 688 So.2d 275 (Ala.Cr.App. 1995), which I have always believed was an incorrect holding. As the author of the dissent in Hurth, I am pleased that we have taken advantage of the opportunity to correct the hypertechnical interpretation of the Habitual Felony Offender Act applied in that case.
