Michigan Supreme Court
Decided June 14, 2006No. Docket 129152, 129154PublishedCited by 95 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtYoung, J.
Defendants were convicted of first-degree premeditated murder following a joint trial before one jury. The Court of Appeals reversed defendants’ convictions on the bases that the admission of each codefendant’s statements to the police against the other was a violation of Bruton v United States,1 and that the error was not harmless. In Bruton, the United States Supreme Court held that a defendant is deprived of his Sixth Amendment confrontation rights when a nontestifying codefendant’s confession that inculpates the defendant is introduced at a joint trial.2
