Opinion of the Court
Application granted in part.
The only portions of Lavalais’ confession which are admissible as statements against interest are those statements which are self-inculpatory. All other statements in the confession are inadmissible hearsay, whether in-culpatory of other persons or non-inculpatory (unless admissible on some other basis).
Otherwise, the application is denied.
