People v. Teshara

This is a companion case to that of Manuel Amaya, just decided, ante, p. 531. A few days after the conviction of Amaya, this defendant was tried upon a separate information, accusing him of the murder of Loucks, and he was found guilty of murder in the second degree. His appeal, also, is from the judgment and from an order denying a new trial. In many respects the points made in support of the two appeals are the same, and what has been said in Amaya’s case need not be repeated here; but Teshara has some exceptions, not covered by the decision in that case, which we will proceed to consider.
