ALDERMAN, Judge, dissenting:

In my opinion the evidence in this case is sufficient only to support a conviction under Section 794.011(5), Florida Statutes (1974 Supplement to Florida Statutes 1973). I would remand with instructions that the defendant be sentenced for a felony of the second degree.
