Comments:

Sacco appealed. The Supreme Court of Nebraska concludedthat the trial court erred in refusing to admit into evidence certain police reports and that the exclusion of this evidence unfairly prejudiced Sacco's substantial rights at trial and reversed the trail court judgment and remanded for a new trial. See: 601 N.W.2d 493 (Neb.1999). The date shown above is the date of the appellate court decision and not the trial date. Reported by JAB.
