Description
Homicide. Practice, Criminal, Voluntariness of statement, Psychiatric examination, Instructions to jury, Hearsay, State of mind. Evidence, Admissions and confessions. NOLAN, J. A jury convicted the defendant, Alfred J. Hunter, III, of murder in the first degree by reason of deliberate premeditation and extreme atrocity or cruelty. 1 Because we conclude that the trial Judge committed reversible error when he failed to conduct a voir dire hearing on the voluntariness of Hunter's statements to two civilian witnesses, we reverse the murder conviction, and remand the case to the Superior Court for proceedings consistent with this opinion. In light of this decision, we need not address each of Hunter's arguments raised on appeal. We have chosen, however, to comment on certain issues which may occur at retrial.
