Description
The defendant, Michael Kevin Hunter, was convicted of felony theft under section 18-4-401, C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Repl. Vol. 8). Reversal of this conviction was urged in the court of appeals on the ground that the trial court erred in admitting into evidence a signed confession obtained by department store security guards, without first holding in in camera hearing to determine the voluntariness of the confession. In an opinion not selected for publication, the court of appeals ruled that this was error on the part of the trial court; but nevertheless affirmed the conviction, holding that it was harmless error. We granted the defendants petition for certiorari, and now reverse the judgment of the court of appeals with directions to remand to the trial court for further proceedings as outlined herein.
