Michigan Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the CourtQuinn, J.
A jury convicted defendant of armed robbery, MCLA 750.529; MSA 28.797. He was sentenced and he appeals.
Defendant first contends that it was reversible error for the trial court to instruct the jury on defendant’s choice not to testify after he specifically requested that such an instruction not be given. In support of this contention, defendant cites People v Pruitt, 29 Mich App 230; 185 NW2d 57 (1970); People v Abernathy, 29 Mich App 558; 185 NW2d 634 (1971); People v Moore, 39 Mich App 329; 197 NW2d 533 (1972).
We decline to accept the foregoing authorities as controlling precedent…
