Description
[161 CalApp2d Page 267] Petitioner is charged with murder. Shortly after he surrendered himself to the Palo Alto Police Department, he made statements
to law enforcement officers. He alleges, on information and belief, that these statements were reduced to writing and are
in the possession of the district attorney. These allegations are not denied. It is not contended [161 CalApp2d Page 268]
that petitioner signed any statement. Petitioner applied to respondent court for leave to inspect these statements. His affidavit
alleges that "I cannot recall the contents of said statement or statements," cannot "relate to my attorneys" the contents
thereof, and need them "to refresh my recollection of their contents." Counteraffidavits of a captain of detectives and of
the administrative assistant to the district attorney admit the taking of statements. They allege that when petitioner made
his statements "his recollection seemed very clear as to all of the events involved in said crime." Both allege that petitioner's
attorney has never stated that petitioner had any trouble recalling "the facts . . . of the crime," and the representative
of the district attorney also alleges that defense counsel has never stated that his client "did not remember . . . the contents
of the statement."
