Butler v. State

Dissenting Opinion

White, J.

Time does not permit the detailed analysis of the testimony which would demonstrate the State’s failure to prove an unbroken chain of custody. The majority opinion does accurately summarize the evidence, however, and the careful reader can see for himself that the standards of proof established in Graham v. State (1970), 253 Ind. 525, 255 N.E.2d 652, 20 Ind. Dec. 343, have not been met. The conviction should be reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial.

Note. — Reported at 289 N.E.2d 772.
