¶8MADDOX, Justice (concurring specially).

¶9By denying the writ of certiorari in this case, I assume that the Court of Criminal Appeals, after reviewing the record in this case, has determined that there was some evidence presented on a lesser included offense, or that the record of trial does not affirmatively preclude evidence of a lesser included offense (Cf. Ritter v. State, 403 So.2d 154 (Ala.1981), view of Maddox, Jones and Adams, JJ.), which would have entitled the accused to an instruction on a lesser included offense.

¶10JONES, J., concurs.
