State v. Joseph J. Spaeth, 2009AP2907-CR, review granted 2/8/11
on certification; for Spaeth: Shelley Fite, SPD, Madison Appellate; case activity
Issue (formulated by On Point):
Whether a statement made to law enforcement following a probationer’s honest accounting to his probation agent may derive from a “legitimate source wholly independent of compelled testimony” and therefore admissible in a criminal case, notwithstanding the promise of immunity for such statements when made to probation agents.
See prior post for further discussion.
