¶1 concurring. It is with the utmost reluctance that I concur in the reversal and remand of this case based upon the incompetence of defendant’s trial counsel. While ineffective assistance of counsel is distressing, the resulting impact upon the innocent victim and minor witnesses is truly deplorable. This result is all the more unfortunate because no sanctions can be imposed which might prevent the reoccurrence of ineffective representation or which could ameliorate the victim.
