California Court of Appeal

People v. Bradford, A116899

Following a conviction for second degree murder and other offenses, admission of defendant's confession is reversed where: 1) because detectives failed to give defendant one of the four required Miranda warnings, his confession was inadmissible in the prosecution's case-in-chief; and 2) admission of defendant's confession was not harmless error.
