The opinion

HUGHES, J.,

dissenting.

h Alteration of the transcript of a recorded judicial proceeding is a serious, perhaps criminal, matter. This court does justice no favor by punishing the whistle-blower. As pointed out by Justice Weimer, the majority manages to avoid the hard evidence that the alteration in this case was no accident or “malfunction”. I concur with Justice Weimer’s dissent.
