## Opinion text

Annabelle Clinton Imber, Justice, dissenting. Once again, the majority concludes, as it did in Anderson v. State, 367 Ark. 536 , 242 S.W.3d 229 (2006), that the circuit court did not err when it allowed the jury to take Flanagan’s recorded statements and a tape recorder or a TV/VCR into the jury room where the jury was deliberating. I must respectfully dissent in this case for the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Anderson v. State, supra.
Corbin, J., joins this dissent.
