Although I concurred in this Court's original unpublished memorandum in this case, issued on November 2, 2007, I was deeply troubled by our holding. Upon careful consideration of the State's application for rehearing and the accompanying brief, together with Judge Baschab's dissent to the unpublished memorandum, I am persuaded that this Court's original decision was incorrect. Therefore, I must respectfully dissent from the denial of rehearing for the reasons set forth in my dissent from the denial of rehearing in State v. Clemons, [Ms. CR-05-1950, February 1, 2008] ___ So. 2d ___, ___ (Ala.Crim.App. 2007) (on application for rehearing) (Wise, J., dissenting). 2
