State v. Douglas

*518TANZER, J.

Defendant appeals her conviction of theft. She assigns as error a trial court order precluding her own testimony of alibi due to her noncompliance with statutory requirements for such evidence. The Court of Appeals upheld the trial court ruling, citing State v. Wardius, 6 Or App 391, 487 P2d 1380, rev den (1971), rev’d in part 412 US 470, 93 S Ct 2208, 37 L Ed 2d 82 (1973). We accepted her petition for review by which she contended that the sanction was impermissible under the Oregon and the federal constitutions. We find, however, that the statute is dis-positive.
