JOHNSON, Vice Presiding Judge,
dissenting:
I agree in the dissent of Judge Chapel herein, but in so doing I need to clarify my *102position as to the dissent. I also agree with Judge Chapel that a harmless error analysis may be applied to the videotape that was admitted pursuant to 22 O.S. § 752. I was the author of the opinion as it relates to such statute. Burke v. State, 820 P.2d 1344 (Okl.Cr.1991), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 112 S.Ct. 2940, 119 L.Ed.2d 565 (1992).
When the harmless error analysis is attached to this case, one cannot say beyond a reasonable doubt that the evidence of the video tape, since there was little other evidence, did not lead to the finding of the jury and contribute to their verdict.
