California Court of Appeal

Conviction of first-degree murder is affirmed where: 1) defendant's incriminating statements to police during a mock polygraph test were not involuntary so as to preclude their admission in evidence; and 2) no reversible error occurred regarding the conditional examination of the witness, as it was not statutorily prohibited and the court did not err in finding the witness unavailable and using the conditional examination in lieu of live testimony.
