1Opinion of the CourtLevine, J.

Eldridge, J., concurs in the result and filed a concurring opinion at page 675 infra.

We consider in this appeal the doctrines of collateral estoppel and res judicata as applied to criminal proceedings. After a non-jury trial in the Circuit Court for Harford County (Close, J.), appellant was convicted of armed robbery with a dangerous and deadly weapon for which he was sentenced to a 14-year term. The Court of Special Appeals upheld the conviction in Cook v. State, 35 Md. App. 430, 371 A. 2d 433 (1977). We then granted certiorari and for reasons that follow, we affirm.
