Opinion text

DENNIS, Justice, dissenting. I respectfully dissented from the original majority opinion because it failed to persuade me that the rule of Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477 , 101 S.Ct. 1880 , 68 L.Ed.2d 378 (1981), should be applied prospectively only. I was persuaded to the contrary by Justice Marcus’ opinion on rehearing, however, and at that time joined the majority.
