R. B. Burns, P. J.
(dissenting). I cannot agree with my colleagues that the statement of Gerald Kosecki was inadmissible for impeachment purposes.
At one time Kosecki told the police that the defendant had been to his home the night of the alleged robbery and he thought he had “wrote down” his phone number for the defendant. At trial he testified that he could not recall whether or not he had given the defendant his phone number. In my opinion there is a contradiction between the testimony of the witness and the statement. The statement was properly admitted to impeach Kosecki’s testimony.
I would affirm.
