1. “"Notwithstanding the apparent error in admitting the forgery affidavits into evidence, I cannot hold, `after an examination of the entire cause,' that that error `probably injuriously affected [the appellant's] substantial rights.' I agree with the State that the forgery affidavits were merely cumulative of other evidence that strongly indicated the appellant's guilt, including the testimony of the victim's son, William Campbell; the testimony of Investigators Mike Smith and Mike Pettey; the appellant's statement; and the videotape of the appellant's cashing the forged checks. I do not believe that the findings of the jury in this case turned on the admission of the forgery affidavits."”
