A substitute opinion was issued in State v. Perry on Friday. The new opinion states that in cases where a trial error was not followed by a contemporaneous objection the defendant bears the burden of demonstrating that there is a reasonable possibility that the error affected the outcome of the trial. The Court's original opinion required that the defendant demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that the error affected the outcome.
