P. v. Penaloza CA2/8
Defendant Teodoro Penaloza appeals from his conviction for assault with a firearm and the subsequent jury finding that he was insane at the time he committed the offense. Defendant claims that his mental illness rendered him incapable of knowingly and intelligently waiving his rights under Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda) and therefore his statements to the police should have been suppressed. He further argues that the evidence was insufficient to show he did not act in self-defense. We affirm the judgment.
