PARKS, Judge,
specially concurring:
It continues to be the opinion of this writer that undue emphasis is placed on tape recorded evidence when it is laid in the unrestrained hands of the jury during deliberation. The risk of prejudice in such a situation is great. Duvall v. State, 780 P.2d 1178 (Okl.Cr.1989) (Parks, J., Dissenting); See Also Martin v. State, 747 P.2d 316 (Okl.Cr.1987). However, I am bound by Stare Decisis to follow the will of the majority.
