During the sanity phase of the trial, the jury determined that defendant was sane at the time he committed the murder. He was sentenced to prison for 25 years to life, plus one year. He appeals, claiming the trial court erred in excusing a juror during sanity phase deliberations, therefore the jurys finding in that regard should be reversed. Court reject his contention and affirm
