WILSON V. CITY OF PINE BLUFF 641 S.W.2d 33 (1982) CASE BRIEF

WILSON V. CITY OF PINE BLUFF
641 S.W.2d 33 (1982)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction of criminal trespass.
FACTS: D was found to be present at a residence in Pine Bluff. When the officers arrived at the residence, they saw an injured woman being placed in an ambulance. They entered the residence and found D and another woman who claimed to live at the residence. That woman wanted D to leave. D refused to leave after several warnings by the officers and was arrested. D never claimed any possessory or ownership right to the premises. During trial, the only evidence that was presented by the government which proved the premises belonged to another person was the testimony of the two officers and that was inadmissible hearsay. D objected to its introduction at trial and the court overruled him and admitted them as adoptive admissions of a party opponent. D was convicted and appealed.
