KING, P.J.A.D.

¶1(temporarily assigned), dissenting in part and concurring in part.

¶2For the reasons given by Justice Handler in IV (page 692 to 711, 737 A.2d page 153 to 165) of his dissenting opinion, I agree that prosecutorial misconduct tainted the trial proceeding insofar as the death sentence is concerned. Since the evidence of guilt was so overwhelming I do not think that such misconduct had the capacity to taint the guilt finding. I would remand for a new penalty-phase trial only. In all other respects I join the majority opinion insofar as it affirms the guilty verdict.
