People v. Simon
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of two counts of first degree murder and one count of second degree murder with the personal use of a firearm, among other crimes. A mistrial was declared after the first penalty trial. After a second penalty trial, the jury fixed the penalty as death. The trial court sentenced Defendant to death. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment in its entirety, holding that there was no prejudicial error during the guilt phase of trial or the penalty phase of trial, and Defendant’s challenges to California’s death penalty scheme were unavailing.
