Mitchell v. State

I must respectfully dissent from the majority opinion in this cause.

I predicate my dissent on one premise alone. In all other particulars pertaining to the treatment of the assignments of error, I concur with the majority opinion. My dissent with my fellow judges is bottomed on the statement of Mitchell obtained by the interviewing officer which was introduced into evidence over objection of counsel. This statement was highly inculpatory and damaging to the defendant. To bring into focus my dissent it will be necessary to digress on the back-ground of how the statement or confession was taken.
