Description
The defendant, Brian Richard Madonna, appeals his convictions on two counts of criminal attempt to obtain a narcotic drug by fraud and deceit, sections 18-2-101 and 12-22-319, C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Repl. Vol. 8 and 1978 Repl. Vol 5), and one count of conspiracy to obtain a narcotic drug by fraud and deceit, sections 18-2-201 and 12-22-319, C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Repl. Vol. 8 and 1978 Repl. Vol. 5). He contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress an out-of-court photographic identification which he claims was illegal, and an in-court identification, which he claims was tainted by the improper photographic identification. He also claims that the court erred in admitting into evidence a transcript of a deceased witness' suppression testimony relating to the photographic identification. He challenges other evidentiary rulings regarding prior inconsistent statements and similar transactions. He contests the consecutive sentences ordered by the court. Finally, he asserts he was improperly found guilty of contempt of court and improperly sentenced to a ninety day jail sentence to run consecutively to all other sentences. We affirm the convictions, but reverse the judgment of contempt and remand for further proceedings.
