State v. Koltas

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• to corroborate a con- fession, the state must introduce “proof of facts, indepen- dent of the confession itself, that the defendant committed the underlying crime”
• “It is the defendant’s burden to show a collateral consequence, and we will not assume one.”
• a person asserting that an appeal is not moot must show a probable adverse consequence from the underlying judgment — a “mere possibility” of adverse consequences is not sufficient
• “[T]he record must show more than a ‘mere possibility’ that collateral consequences will occur; a speculative consequence does not prevent a case from becoming moot.” (Quoting Brumnett v. PSRB, 315 Or 402, 407, 848 P2d 1194 (1993).)
• “[A]though punitive contempt is not a ‘crime’ . . . all the procedures applicable to a criminal proceeding (except the right to a jury trial) apply, ORS [§] 33.065(5), (6), including the standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, ORS [§] 33.065(9).”
