Beahan v. State

HOFFMAN, Presiding Judge,

concurring.

I reluctantly concur.

The majority correctly follows the case of German v. State (1981), Ind., 428 N.E.2d 234. Although I disagree with the majority opinion in German, supra, I am compelled to follow it.

The Legislature in passing Ind.Code § 35-4.1-1-3 went beyond the state or federal constitutional requirements, and the Indiana Supreme Court has required strict adherence to its terms. I think the next session of the Indiana General Assembly should look at this statute.
