State v. Ristau ( 1978 )

Clinton, J.,

dissenting in part.

I dissent from that portion of the opinion which reduces the sentence. The trial court is in a position to best judge the defendant’s attitude. We are in no position to do that. Only chance prevents this case from being one of felony murder as in State v. Harris, 194 Neb. 74, 230 N. W. 2d 203, which also was a crime which had its origin in a “purse snatch.”

Spencer, C. J., Pro Tem., and Boslaugh, J., join in this dissent.
