State v. Jordan

SPECIAL TERM OPINION

WOZNIAK, Chief Judge.

FACTS

Appellant/petitioner Robert Jordan is charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, Minn.Stat. § 609.342, allegedly committed against 10-year-old L.C. Jordan’s private investigator obtained a recantation statement, dated April 8, 1988, retracting L.C.’s allegations of sexual abuse. The trial court, however, did not allow L.C. to testify at the omnibus hearing, although Jordan claimed she was appearing voluntarily. The trial court denied Jordan’s motion to dismiss for lack of probable cause.
