““Fundamental error is error that is so prejudicial to a defendant’s rights that he could not have had a fair trial. If it appears that adhering to the normal rules of appellate procedure would result in the waiver of an error which is so harmful that it operates to deny the appellant fundamental due process, this Court may by-pass those rules. Blow v. State, (1978) [ 267 Ind. 632 ,] 372 N.E.2d 1166 . Cf. Teague v. State, (1978) Ind., 379 N.E.2d 418 . Here, appellant is claiming that the trial judge should have, sua sponte, admonished the prosecutor to refrain from these statements and should have instructed the jury to disregard them. A trial judge is not required to take an active part in the trial of the cause to assist or to override counsel in the strategies employed in examining witnesses, objecting or failing to object and in generally managing and directing the lawsuit. It is the duty of a trial judge to preside in a strictly impartial manner and to refrain from undue interference and participation in the proceedings. Brannum v. State, (1977) [ 267 Ind. 51 ,] 366 N.E.2d 1180 .” 395 N.E.2d at 227.”
