State v. Apodaca

POHLMAN, Judge:

¶1 Robert S. Apodaca appeals his convictions for one count of aggravated kidnapping, a first degree felony; one count of aggravated robbery, a first degree felony; and one count of obstruction of justice, a second degree felony. He contends the trial court erred in concluding that his incriminating statements to police were voluntary and thus admissible at trial as impeachment evidence. He also contends that his aggravated robbery conviction should be reversed because a jury instruction improperly stated the applicable mental state. We affirm.
