Description

These are automatic appeals (Pen. Code, § 1239(b) from judgments sentencing each defendant to death, after verdicts finding them guilty of murder in the first degree without recommendation as to penalty, and, as to defendant Bolden, from an order denying his motion for a new trial. Each defendant was represented at the trial by able counsel but defendant Harper is without benefit of counsel on the appeal. As to him the proceedings appear to have been regular in all respects, we have discovered no prejudicial error, and his testimony alone, voluntarily given, amply supports the verdict of the jury against him. Defendant Bolden, whose counsel presses his appeal, vigorously contends that the evidence is insufficient to connect him with the crime of murder and that the trial court therefore erred in denying his motions for an advised verdict and for a new trial. An examination of the record discloses that the evidence is legally sufficient to support the verdict against him and that the trial court did not err in denying his motions. The judgments as to each defendant and the order denying Bolden's motion for a new trial must therefore be affirmed.
