  • trooper’s statement that he would arrange a meeting with the assistant district attorney did not amount to promise that established agency
  • where fellow inmate was “not an agent of any law enforcement official,” his questioning of defendant did not violate Sixth Amendment
  • evidence that the defendant attempted forcibly to enter a car in which two women were riding shortly before entering the rape victim’s car was admissible to prove forcible entry and was relevant to issues of intent and motive
