2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Where real or demonstrative evidence has not been formally introduced in evidence, the fact that it has been used in connection with the giving of testimony makes it evidence in the case and proper to go before the jury in its deliberations. Smith v. State , 344 So.2d 1239 , 1241 (Ala.Cr.App.), cert. denied, Ex parte Smith , 344 So.2d 1243 (Ala. 1977); C. Gamble, McElroy's Alabama Evidence , Section 123.01(6) (3rd ed. 1977). "The negative conveyed no information that had not been emphatically conveyed to the jury during the trial. The officer's testimony on what the negative depicted was clear and unequivocal. Under these circumstances, we fail to see how the admission and viewing of the negative prejudiced the defendant. Merriweather v. State , 364 So.2d 374 (Ala.Cr.App.), cert. denied, Ex parte Merriweather , 364 So.2d 477 (Ala. 1978)."”
