Case Notes



 



  Statements made by women constituted verbal acts and were
admissible against defendant charged under subsection (1)(a).  59 H. 401, 581
P.2d 1171.



  Section 701-109(1)(d) prohibits conviction under both this
section and §842-2(2), as both this section and §842-2(2) seek to redress the
same conduct--the control of an enterprise involved in criminal activity.  In
such case, this section, the specific statute, governs over the general statute,
§842-2(2).  88 H. 19, 960 P.2d 1227.
