GIVAN, Chief Justice,

¶1dissenting.

¶2I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion in this case.

¶3First, I do not agree that the armed felony, that is the robbery, was committed at a separate time from the kidnapping. Under the facts of this case I do not see any possible separation of the two acts. Secondly, I believe there are two separate and distinct felonies committed at the same time in this case. Appellant jumped into the back seat of the victim's car as they drove along and placed a gun at the back of the victim's head. He then proceeded to direct the victim as to where he should drive, thus perpetrating a kidnapping. During the course of the kidnapping, he committed armed robbery.

¶4I believe the decision of the trial court was correct.
