PER CURIAM.

Application granted in part.

The only portions of Lavalais’ confession which are admissible as statements against interest are those statements which are self-inculpatory. All other statements in the confession are inadmissible hearsay, whether in-culpatory of other persons or non-inculpatory (unless admissible on some other basis).

Otherwise, the application is denied.

WATSON, J., would deny the application. VICTORY, J., not on panel.
