State v. Tony M.

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant's convictions, holding that any error in admitting evidence from the hospital interview was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, including any assumed violation of the recording requirement for custodial interrogations. The court also held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by excluding the defendant's rejected offer to plead guilty to manslaughter because the offer was not relevant to his intent at the time of the killing and could have confused the jury. No separate opinions were filed.
