Sutton v. State

Darrell Hickman, Justice.

Gordon Sutton was charged in Greene County, Arkansas, with burglary of and breaking and entering two car washes. He was convicted of charges involving one of the car washes and found not guilty of charges as to the other. On appeal he alleges two errors: he says the lower court erred when it allowed a police officer to testify, regarding an oral confession; and, he states that he was denied due process of law, and the right to effect counsel for about thirty days after his arrest.

We feel that Sutton should be granted a new trial.

Sutton is a 25 year old resident of St.…
