Description
Defendant-appellant Ernest Cottress (also known as Cottrell) was charged with burglary in the first degree, petit larceny and battery. The State's case was that Price burglarized the safe at Albertson's on Fairview Avenue in Boise and that his accomplices, Sistrunk and Cottress, came to his defense in fighting off an employee who intervened to prevent Price from making away with the money. Sistrunk and Cottress portrayed themselves as innocent bystanders who saw a stranger beating up their friend Price. Price entered a plea of guilty to the petit larceny charge just as the case against all three went to trial. Sistrunk and Price were tried on the charges of being accomplices in the acts of burglary and larceny. Price's attorney, over objection by the State, elicited from Sistrunk the fact that Price had pleaded guilty to the larceny charge. He used that fact to argue to the jury that it was unfair of the State to pursue the burglary charge when Price had already admitted the full extent of his involvement, i. e., the petit larceny misdemeanor.
