Oregon Supreme Court February 28, 1989, TC C8501-30114; CA A37716; SC S34120 (State v. Vu)

*421

CARSON, J.

This case concerns two issues, the admissibility of an allegedly compelled statement and the adequacy of a consent to a search. On the first issue, the trial judge, after suppressing the statement, ruled that the prosecution could use the statement for the limited purpose of impeaching defendant’s testimony if defendant took the stand in his defense.
