The State, Respondent v. Michael Paul Saltz, Appellant

Summary

The court reversed Michael Saltz's murder conviction because the trial court improperly admitted a prosecution witness's prior consistent statement and excluded defense corroboration of another witness's prior consistent statement, and because it admitted irrelevant and prejudicial evidence. The court rejected Saltz's challenges to the limitation of cross-examination, the admission of his statements to police, and the denial of a directed verdict. No separate opinions were filed.
