P. v. Wickersham
On appeal, following his conviction for first degree murder, defendant David John Wickersham contends there is insufficient evidence of deliberate and premeditated murder. Defendant argues his statements to interrogating officers should have been excluded as involuntary for lack of a knowing and intelligent waiver of his right to remain silent. Defendant finally contends that he was denied the right to a fair trial because records of his prior mental commitments, relied upon by his expert witness in the sanity phase of his trial, were excluded by the trial court as inadmissible hearsay. We reject these arguments and affirm the judgment.
