Criminal Law: Sentencing Report – Guilty Plea – Prejudice
Stephanie Maniscalco//November 17, 2011//
Listen to this articleEven though a trial court erred in allowing a witness in an assault case to testify about statements the defendant made to her in connection with a guilty plea, which was later withdrawn, the error was not so prejudicial as to be outcome determinative, so the judgment and sentence are affirmed.
Judgment is affirmed.
