Concurring Opinion

DENNIS, J.,

would grant and consider the applicant’s complaint that the evidence was constitutionally insufficient to support a conviction under the due process clause and Jackson v. Virginia. The record is available to us and is complete. It has already been reviewed by the Court of Appeal. No good purpose is served by forcing these relators to go through the process of another round of hearings in the lower courts.
