¶1Defendant was charged with robbery not armed and found guilty. Defendant raises the objection that the proper foundation was not laid for the admission of a prior inconsistent statement made by defendant. This Court finds that a proper foundation was not laid and defendant was thereby prejudiced and it was not cured by a later admission of the entire document. People v Dozier, 22 Mich App 528, 531-532; 177 NW2d 694 (1970), People v Goree, 30 Mich App 490; 186 NW2d 872 (1971).
¶2Reversed and new trial granted.
¶3(dissenting). I would affirm the trial court. The requirements of People v Dozier, 22 Mich App 528; 177 NW2d 694 (1970), apply only to oral statements. In this case the statements in question were in writing, and the writing was introduced into evidence. Cf. Lightfoot v People, 16 Mich 507 (1868), Hamilton v People, 29 Mich 195 (1874), People v Plummer, 37 Mich App 657; 195 NW2d 328 (1972).
¶4It was improper for the prosecutor to cross-examine the defendant regarding the contents of his *339statement before its introduction into evidence. Lightfoot, supra, at 512-513. In my judgment, however, the defendant suffered no prejudice as a result of this error since he had identified his signature, read the statement and offered his own explanation for the discrepancies. There being no miscarriage of justice the conviction should not be set aside. MCLA 769.26; MSA 28.1096.
