Opinion
July 13, 1965
Judgment of conviction unanimously reversed, on the law, and a new trial directed. At such new trial this court concludes that the confession previously introduced in the trial of the defendant shall be excluded. ( Escobedo v. Illinois, 378 U.S. 478.) The confession was obtained while counsel was denied access to his client and is subject to the infirmity declared in Escobedo v. Illinois ( supra).
