California Court of Appeal

Defendant's conviction of felony murder with special circumstances, as well as four counts of robbery and other crimes are: 1) reversed in part, where the felony murder conviction must be reversed because of instructional error; 2) reversed in part, where a spouse's testimony before a grand jury does not waive his or her subsequent assertion of the spousal testimonial privilege at a criminal trial, and the admission of defendant's wife's testimony was prejudicial in connection with three of defendant's four robbery convictions; but 3) otherwise affirmed.
