Dissenting Opinion

HUGHES, J.,

would grant the writ.

h While the trial judge was undoubtedly well-meaning in her words to the defendant that “if you admit and confess Jesus as your Savior, to be forgiven of all your sins,” she has given him a resource in 'the great' death penalty delay game. I would address the issue now gather than have it hovering over the remaining post-conviction proceedings.
