Description
The people appeal as of right from two orders entered by the Detroit Recorders Court that granted defendants motions to quash the information charging all the defendants with assault with intent to rob while armed, MCL 750.89; MSA 28.284, and conspiracy to commit armed robbery, MCL 750.157a(a); MSA 28.354(1)(a), and defendant Merlino, alone, with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, MCL 750.227b; MSA 28.424(2). The Recorders Court held that there was insufficient evidence to support binding over defendants for trial on the former two charges because the prosecutor had failed to establish the corpus delicti of these crimes without the aid of defendants confessions. The court concluded that the only possible crimes established by the evidence at the preliminary examination were malicious destruction of property and assault and battery, both committed by defendant Cotton.
