People v. Miranda-Guerrero
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction for kidnapping to commit rape, murder, attempted carjacking, assault with intent to commit rape, and receiving stolen property, and Defendant's sentence of death, holding that Defendant was not entitled to reversal of his convictions or sentences.
Specifically, the Supreme Court held (1) as to the guilt phase issues raised by Defendant on appeal, the only potential errors, including the possibility that the prosecutor strayed beyond appropriate commentary into personal commentary on defense counsel, were not so egregious that they made the trial unfair; and (2) there was no error in the penalty phase.
