¶1specially concurring.
¶2[T89] I concur in the majority opinion. I write separately only to mention one other reason that responses to all substantive jury questions should be read to the jury in open court, with the defendant present. If a written response is simply handed to a bailiff for delivery to the jury in the jury room, the record does not reflect whether the instruction was thereafter read or given to each of the jurors by the presiding juror, or even that the presiding juror received the written instruction from the bailiff.
