                            SHAWN A. WOMACK, Associate Justice


        Bruce Earl Ward and Don William Davis filed their motions jointly, but this court

 has chosen to dispose of them separately. Due to the identical legal issues involved, I discuss

 the facts and legal arguments of both Ward and Davis in my dissent in Davis v. State, 2017

 Ark. 135 (Womack, J., dissenting), handed down this same day.

        I dissent.

        WOOD, J., joins in this dissent.
