1Opinion of the CourtDore, J.

Defendants Weygandt, Polanski and Davis were charged with the first-degree murder of Jamie L. Grimes. Davis subsequently turned state's evidence and was granted immunity. The jury convicted Weygandt and Polanski of second-degree murder. Defendant Weygandt alone appeals.

Issues

Issue 1: Whether the State's actions, in cremating the hands of the deceased victim and destroying part of the cement floor in the back room of the Red Lion Tavern in making tests to discover blood, destroyed material evidence which violated Weygandt's constitutional rights and prevented him from having a fair trial?
