Opinion
PALMER, J.
In this criminal case, the state appeals, with the permission of the trial court, from that court’s judgment dismissing the information, which followed the court’s ruling prohibiting the state from introducing, in its case-in-chief, the testimony of the defendant, Matthew Rivera, during his appearance before an investigatory grand jury. Because we conclude that the trial court improperly precluded the state from introducing the defendant’s grand jury testimony, we reverse the judgment of the trial court dismissing the information.
