concurring:
I concur in the Court’s decision denying Wallace’s Application. Traditionally in Oklahoma, on post-conviction review, a defendant has received the benefit of intervening changes in the law. The revised post-conviction statute changed that general rule.9 Moreover, this Court has recently determined that the issue of the appropriate standard for determination of competency under Cooper v. Oklahoma10 is not a new rule of constitutional law.11 Therefore procedural bars may apply to these claims on post-eonviction. Our resolution of Wallace’s Proposition V acutely illustrates the harsh result which may occur when the principle of finality of judgment is applied. However, our new post-conviction statute dictates the strict application of that principle.
