P. v. Cooper
A jury convicted defendant Regis Anthony Cooper of second degree murder.

Defendant appeals, contending that the court improperly admitted character evidence and denied admission of evidence of his victims lifestyle, that a witnesss statements were coerced, that his own statements violated Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 [86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694] (Miranda), and that the $30 assessment was erroneous. Court agree only with the latter contention and otherwise affirm the judgment.
