People v. Owens

Opinion

STEPHENS, J.

Defendant was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, a violation of Penal Code section 192, subdivision 1, a lesser included offense within the charged offense, murder. The jury also found that defendant had used a firearm during the offense within the meaning of *25Penal Code sections 12022.5 and 1203.06, subdivision (a)(1). Sentence was to state prison.

Except to say that there was a killing, the facts are of no moment to the single issue raised on appeal, i.e., did the court err in admitting defendant’s extrajudicial statements which are admissions.

So far as the circumstances…
