P. v. Lacy CA1/3
Defendant Roy Lacy was convicted of six counts of robbery, arising from robberies at three bank branches in January 2013. The jury heard eyewitness testimony identifying Lacy as the robber and viewed security images depicting him robbing each branch. The court admitted portions of Lacy’s recorded statement confessing to all three robberies. Lacy contends his confession in Florida should have been excluded because officers ignored his unequivocal invocation of the right to counsel under Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda) and coerced the statements through promises that he could serve any Florida prison sentence concurrently with a California sentence in California and avoid a life sentence. Lacy also contends the trial court erred by not excluding a statement in his confession. We affirm.
