RLB BELSOME, J., CONCURS WITH REASONS

I concur in the majority’s opinion but write separately to address the briefing

in this appeal. I find it troubling that this Court’s review of the record identified

blatant inaccuracies in the representation of facts associated with an assignment of

legal error made to this Court in briefs filed by counsel for the defendant and

counsel for the State. Consequently, I would remind counsel of record, for both

parties, of their professional duty of candor toward the court.1
