Kennedy v. State

1 Citing case

  1. State v. Longmore

    134 N.W.2d 66 (Neb. 1965)   Cited 36 times
    In State v. Longmore, 178 Neb. 509, 134 N.W.2d 66, we pointed out that under our procedure the admission of a confession in evidence constitutes the trial court's independent determination that the confession is voluntary.

    None of the cases cited involved a probation order. Apparently the last such pronouncement was in Kennedy v. State, 170 Neb. 193, 101 N.W.2d 853, and it also held that error proceedings may be taken from the overruling of the motion for new trial, or the imposition of sentence, whichever is the later. Historically the courts generally held that imposition of a sentence was required for finality; and that acceptance of probation waived the defendant's right to appeal.
