Defendant was convicted of aggravated DUI. Court allowed jury, during deliberations and in courtroom, to view video of Defendant's traffic stop, in presence of a substitute, prosecutor, Defendant and his counsel, and bailiff. Record does not show any prejudice to Defendant. Even if it was error, it does not rise to level of plain error, as evidence was not closely balanced, and did not affect fairness of trial and did not challenge integrity of judicial process. (O'BRIEN, specially concurring; HOLDRIDGE, dissenting.)
