Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by The sole question here presented is whether the written
statement of the defendant was admissible in the state's case in
chief, where a portion of it referred to an unrelated prior
conviction of larceny which could have been separated from the
relevant parts of the statement. Following his arrest for manslaughter in the first degree, the
defendant made a statement to Assistant County Attorney Listrom
detailing the events leading up to his assault upon the decedent.
It was in question and answer form, several pages in length, and
was taken before an official court reporter in the presence of
two police officers. The following questions and answers
concluded the statement:
"A. Now, what trouble have you been in before, Bob?
You were up for larceny one time? A. Yes. Q.
Hutchinson? A. Yes. Q. You have not been in any
trouble since then, other than minor stuff? A. No.
Mr. Listrom: Anything else? Mr. Hartner: No. Mr.
Listrom: Okay, Bob, is that fair enough? A. Yes. Mr.
Listrom: That's all."
