CAMERON, Justice,
specially concurring.
I concur in the result, but disagree that fundamental error may not be harmless error. As indicated in the body of the opinion and footnote 1, the harmless error doctrine may be applied to fundamental or constitutional error, Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18, 87 S.Ct. 824, 17 L.Ed.2d 705 (1967); Harrington v. California, 395 U.S. 250, 89 S.Ct. 1726, 23 L.Ed.2d 284 (1969), and we have so held. State v. Anderson, 110 Ariz. 238, 517 P.2d 508 (1973). I agree, however, that in the instant case the error was both fundamental and harmful.
HOLOHAN, Justice, concurring.
