P. v. Plancarte CA4/2
Defendant and appellant, Jesus Plancarte was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. He argues the trial court erroneously admitted his statement confessing to the murder because it was obtained in violation of his Miranda rights. He also argues the trial court erred by denying his request for a continuance of the trial to retain new counsel and that his sentence is unconstitutional.
We conclude the trial court erred by admitting defendant’s confession and that the error was prejudicial. We therefore reverse the judgment and need not address defendant’s other arguments.
