Heading: Cummins's Statement to Detective Parker

Text: The admissibility of Cummins's statement to Detective Parker is likely to arise during a retrial. Although further fact-finding and changed circumstances may obviate the need to address this issue, we nevertheless proceed to provide guidance on the admissibility of the statement under our interpretation of CRE 804(b)(3) and the three-part test we announced in part III-A of this opinion. See, e .g., Goebel v. Colorado Dep't of Insts., 764 P.2d 785, 804 (Colo.1988) (offering guidance to the trial court on an issue likely to arise on retrial); People v. Roark, 643 P.2d 756, 766-74 (Colo.1982) (same).
