California Court of Appeal

Conviction of first degree murder, based exclusively on circumstantial evidence that defendant built and planted a victim-activated bomb in an irrigation pump he knew the farm foreman and eventual victim would activate, is affirmed where there was substantial evidence to support the verdict and no abuse of discretion in admitting evidence or denying the defense request for surrebuttal closing argument.
