People v. Navis
California Supreme Court Apr 15, 1853Published
Before: Heydenfeldt
Synopsis
In a trial for murder, where the admission or confession of the party was resorted to as evidence, it was held to be error to exclude any portion of it, made at the same time with that portion of it which was admitted.
Heydenfeldt, Justice, delivered the opinion of the court. Wells, Justice, concurred.
Where the admission or confession of a party is resorted to as evidence, it is error to exclude any portion of it made at the same time as the part which is related.
For this reason, the judgment is reversed, and a new trial ordered.
