STATE v. MATTHEWS

No. 376-2.

6 Wn. App. 201 (1971)

492 P.2d 1076

THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. LARRY MATTHEWS, Appellant.

The Court of Appeals of Washington, Division Two.

December 22, 1971.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Edwin J. Wheeler and Schuyler J. Witt (of Witt, Hutchins, Plumb & Wheeler), for appellant.

Ronald L. Hendry, Prosecuting Attorney, Joseph D. Mladinov, Special Counsel, and Eugene G. Olson, Chief Criminal Deputy, for respondent.


ARMSTRONG, J.

Defendant Larry Matthews appeals from a judgment and sentence entered upon a jury verdict finding him guilty of manslaughter.

The appeal raises the single question of whether the state, on cross-examination, may attack the credibility of a witness by showing his past juvenile record where the witness is himself the criminal defendant and has testified that he had never been convicted of a crime.
