State of Arizona v. Angel Antonio Perez

OPINION

HOWARD, Chief Judge.

¶ 1 After a jury trial, appellant Angel Perez was convicted of felony murder and two counts of attempted armed robbery. On appeal, he argues the trial court erred by giving an incorrect felony murder instruction, in its rulings on several evidentiary matters at trial, and in failing to suppress Perez’s statements.
