Description
Defendant, Michael R. McCormick, appeals the judgments of conviction entered upon jury verdicts finding him guilty of two counts of first degree murder and one count of second degree kidnapping. Defendant's principal contentions now before us are that the trial court erred in ruling that the prosecution would be allowed to impeach his testimony at trial with statements he had made pursuant to a plea agreement because the statements were involuntary, and in entering judgment on two counts of murder for a single killing. We reject the contention that defendant's statements were inherently involuntary because they were made pursuant to a plea agreement, but conclude that remand is necessary in order for the trial court to determine the voluntariness of the statements under the totality of the circumstances. Further, we vacate the judgment of conviction on two counts of murder and remand for entry of a judgment of conviction on one count of murder after deliberation.
