P. v. Maeda
Following the denial of his motion to suppress (Pen. Code, 1538.5)[1], a jury found defendant Mitchell Masaaki Maeda guilty of first degree murder ( 187, subd. (a)), first degree robbery ( 211, 212, subd. (a)), and automobile theft (Veh. Code, 10851, subd. (a)). The jury found defendant not guilty of burglary ( 459) and found not true special circumstance allegations that the murder took place during the commission or attempted commission of a robbery and a burglary ( 190.2, subd. (a)(17)(A), (G)). In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found true allegations defendant served two prior prison terms. ( 667.5, subd. (b).) Defendant appeals, contending the trial court prejudicially erred in denying his motion to suppress a statement he made to a police detective. Alternatively, he claims there is insufficient evidence to support his robbery conviction. Court affirm the judgment.
