P. v. Simpson CA1/1
A jury convicted defendant James D. Simpson of receiving stolen property in connection with a residential burglary. Following his arrest, defendant provided a written statement and a subsequent taped statement to police, in which he confessed to entering the residence and taking various items. On appeal, defendant contends the judgment must be reversed because his taped statement, in which he admitted stealing property from the residence, was the tainted fruit of his earlier written statement that was found to have been involuntary and obtained in violation of Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda). Defendant also contends the evidence was insufficient to prove the stolen property had a value in excess of $950. We affirm the judgment.
