APPLETON v. STATE

No. 45S00-9901-CR-00062.

740 N.E.2d 122 (2001)

Sharnee Robert APPLETON, Appellant (Defendant Below), v. STATE of Indiana, Appellee (Plaintiff Below).

Supreme Court of Indiana.

January 8, 2001.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles E. Stewart, Jr., Crown Point, IN, Attorney for Appellant.

Karen M. Freeman-Wilson, Attorney General of Indiana, James B. Martin, Deputy Attorney General, Indianapolis, IN, Attorneys for Appellee.

SHEPARD, Chief Justice.

In appellant Sharnee Appleton's trial, one of the State's witnesses testified that Appleton had not even been present at the scene of the crime. The court permitted the prosecution to "impeach" this witness by reading line-by-line a prior inconsistent statement in which the witness described Appleton's participation. We hold this was error, but harmless in this case.
