People v. Carroll

Paterson, J., dissenting.

I dissent. The court erred, I think, in permitting the prosecution to show that the defendant had asked a police-officer whether the charge could be reduced to petty larceny. (Wharton’s Crim. Ev., sec. 655; State v. Emerson, 48 Iowa, 172.)

I think the court erred in excluding the question asked by defendants in the cross-examination of the prosecuting witness, Loo Goon.
