California Court of Appeal

Affirming the convictions of two defendants for first degree murder because the court did not err in its introduction of one defendant's jailhouse confession and by failing to instruct on the lesser included offense of voluntary manslaughter because his confession was made to a fellow prisoner, not to a government agent, and the instruction as to manslaughter was not justified given the insufficient evidence to support it.
