• applying Perley and holding that fundamental error occurred when the State argued to the jury that it could convict the defendant of one charge of tampering with evidence “based on one of two separate instances of tampering” supported by the evidence presented at trial
• “The law does not ascribe a subjective standard as to a defendant’s state of mind[ ] but concerns a reasonably prudent person’s state of mind.”
