¶1(concurring).
¶2I wish to emphasize that appellant’s claim in the case at bar is valid because the evidence he sought to introduce was mitigating in nature. Had he attempted to introduce evidence tending to exonerate himself or had he otherwise attempted to assert an affirmative defense, he could not prevail.
¶3For this reason I concur in the reversal of this conviction.
