JUSTICE BOATRIGHT,
concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.
¶45 I agree with the majority’s assessment that even if we assume the trial court abused its discretion in allowing the jury unsupervised access to the videotape of the forensic interview, such abuse was not plain error and Martinez’s conviction should stand. I write separately because I dissent from the majority’s opinion in the companion case, People v. Jefferson, 2017 CO 35, 393 P.3d 493, for reasons that I explain there. Hence, to the extent that the majority’s analysis in Jefferson undergirds the majority opinion here, I respectfully disagree.
