Nor do we find that the appellant invited error the state alleges.BOWEN, TAYLOR and McMILLAN, JJ., concur.Without addressing any other issue, we caution that this opinion is not to be understood as indicating that any of the other issues presented by the appellant lack merit.The new trial began on September 10, 1990, and on September 14, 1990, the jury found Madison "guilty of the capital felony as charged in the indictment."
