C.A. 4th
D060039
The Fourth Appellate District affirmed a judgment as modified. The court held in the published portion of its opinion that a murder defendant suffered no Miranda violation where the government sought to rebut his insanity defense at trial by introducing videotape evidence of his casual conversations with police officers who were guarding him while he was in custody in the hours after his arrest. The court held further that the defendants felony-murder special circumstance enhancement was not unconstitutionally vague.
