Description
We granted certiorari to review the court of appeals decision in People v. Banks, 655 P.2d 1384 (Colo. App. 1982), that affirmed the defendants conviction for first degree murder. Section 18-3-102, 8 C.R.S. (1978). The court of appeals held that although the defendant had been arrested pursuant to a warrant that was later invalidated, the taint of the illegal arrest was sufficiently attenuated to permit admission of the defendants confession into evidence. The court of appeals also held that the admission into evidence of a transcript of defendants confession did not violate either the best evidence rule or the defendants due process rights, even though the tape recording of the confession had been erased prior to trial. We affirm the defendants convictions, but for somewhat different reasons.
