Indiana Supreme Court August 24, 1987, Nos. 1085S416, 1085S417 (Newville v. Indiana)

DeBRULER, Justice.

Pending before us are two direct appeals arising from two separate trials. However, the issues presented are identical and therefore both appeals are addressed in this single opinion.

The issues raised are: (1) whether the trial court erred by admitting statements made by appellant following arrest; and (2) whether the trial judge erred in the sen-, tencing determination.
