¶2I agree with the majority that because there was absolutely no showing that the disclosure of the informant’s identity would be material and of benefit to the defense in such a manner as to outweigh the state’s privilege of protecting the identity of the informant, the trial court erred in requiring disclosure of the informant’s identity. Therefore, I concur in the judgment of reversal.
