Cape v. State

McMurray, Judge.

The four defendants in this armed robbery case were tried jointly. After a Jackson-Denno hearing the state introduced evidence of the written incriminating statements of each of the defendants. The statements were taken individually and outside the presence of the co-defendants. All four defendants were convicted and bring this appeal contending that the court erred in refusing to grant their motions for severance and in admitting into evidence the statements of the co-defendants.
