Quinn, P. J.
(dissenting). I agree with all points expressed in the majority opinion, except the final one. I cannot agree that a remand for a Walker hearing is required on the facts of this case. Miranda v. Arizona (1966), 384 US 436 (86 S Ct 1602, 16 L Ed 2d 694, 10 ALR3d 974), People v. Whisenant (1968), 11 Mich App 432, and People v. Walker (On Rehearing, 1965), 374 Mich 331, must be read in context with what was involved in those cases. In each it was a confession of guilt. Here the admission for which the majority remand for a determination of its voluntariness is
“I overheard the defendant, Charles Hopper, say that he had served three different hitches or terms in prison in Wyoming and Colorado, and he would not have been involved this evening had he not been drinking.”
I vote to affirm.
