## Opinion text

Justice MARTIN
concurring.
I concur in the excellent opinion by Justice Mitchell, except in the application of the “plain error” rule to alleged evidentiary errors. I remain convinced that this rule should not be applied to *555 evidentiary questions, for the reasons stated in State v. Black, 308 N.C. 736, 744 , 303 S.E. 2d 804, 809 (1983) (Martin, J., concurring).
