Description

Appellant Linda Joyce Dixon, charged with the murder of her infant son Christopher, moved pre-trial to suppress an oral statement given by her to the police which admitted her guilt. The motion was denied. Thereafter appellant was convicted of murder in the second degree in a trial before a judge sitting without a jury. Post-verdict motions, which again challenged the admissibility of appellants confession, were denied, and sentence of 6 1/2 to 13 years imprisonment was imposed. This appeal followed. We shall reverse and direct a new trial.
