| Citation | 306 N.W.2d 100,411 Mich. 866 |
| Parties | PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Robert Earl BARKER, Jr., Defendant-Appellant. |
| Court | Michigan Supreme Court |
ORDER
On order of the Court, the delayed application for leave to appeal is considered and, pursuant to GCR 1963, 853.2(4), in lieu of leave to appeal, we REVERSE the Court of Appeals, 97 Mich.App. 253, 293 N.W.2d 787 judgment and REMAND the matter to the Saginaw Circuit Court for new trial. The Court of Appeals determined that the trial court erred in its ruling of admissibility as to the prior convictions. Such error is not, however, rendered harmless either by the fact that the defendant ultimately testified or by the fact that defense counsel first raised the matter during direct examination of the defendant.
