Opinion text

PER CURIAM. Application granted in part. The only portions of Lavalais’ confession which are admissible as statements against interest are those statements which are self-inculpatory. All other statements in the confession are inadmissible hearsay, whether in-culpatory of other persons or non-inculpatory (unless admissible on some other basis). Otherwise, the application is denied. WATSON, J., would deny the application. VICTORY, J., not on panel.
