Post-conviction Spanish translation expert’s chart of translation errors at guilty plea hearing was a demonstrative exhibit erroneously excluded as hearsay. As post-conviction proceeding evidence did not reveal whether guilty plea and sentencing hearings’ Spanish translation was accurate, post-conviction court is directed to commission its own translation of the hearings and rehear evidence.

An arrest warrant confers limited authority to enter a dwelling in which the suspect lives when there is reason to believe the suspect is within; when police knew only the building in which the suspect lived, an anonymous bystander’s direction to a specific apartment was not sufficiently reliable to confer the required “reason to believe” for a forced entry.
