2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Owens v. State · Ware v. State“"`Fundamental error is error that, if not rectified, would deny a defendant fundamental due process. Johnson v. State (1979), 271 Ind. 145 , 390 N.E.2d 1005 . It is not enough, in order to invoke this doctrine, to urge that a constitutional right is implicated. Only when the record reveals clearly blatant violations of basic and elementary principles, and the harm or potential for harm could not be denied, will this Court review an issue not properly raised and preserved. Nelson v. State (1980), 274 Ind. 218 , 409 N.E.2d 637 .'"”
