State v. Walls
State v. Walls
Opinion of the Court
Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for possession of cocaine. ORS 475.884. On appeal, he advances two assignments of error: (1) that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained as the result of an unlawful seizure of defendant; and (2) that the admission of a crime laboratory report without the testimony of the technician who prepared the report violated his confrontation rights. The state concedes that the seizure of defendant was unlawful and that the trial court therefore erred in denying the motion to suppress. We agree and accept the state’s concession.
Because the case must be remanded, we need not address defendant’s second assignment of error regarding the admission of the laboratory report.
Reversed and remanded.
