People v. Watson

Opinion

RACANELLI, P. J.

Defendant was convicted of second degree murder following a trial by jury and sentenced to state prison. He appeals, claiming error in the introduction of his confessions and admissions, failure of the prosecution to preserve available evidence for testing, in submitting an instruction on flight and other evidentiary rulings. We conclude after examination of the entire record that only one of these claims, the instruction on flight, has merit but was not prejudicial. For the reasons discussed herein, we affirm the judgment of conviction.
