¶1dissenting:
¶2I respectfully dissent. It is my opinion that Conner v. Griffith,-W. Va._, S.E.2d (September 1977) clearly held that the ruling thereof was to be prospective only. The majority opinion in Conner contained this language: “[o]ur holding does require that in the future it is constitutionally mandated that credit be given.” (Footnote 18, Conner v. Griffith, supra; emphasis mine)
