    The People v Marchand Elliot

    In today's California Supreme Court opinions, the court AFFIRMED Elliot's death sentence.

    Defendant was convicted of murder in the first degree with the special circumstance of murder during the commission of a robbery and sentenced to death. Defendant was also convicted of robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, using a handgun to commit both the robbery and assault. On automatic appeal, the court addressed pretrial and jury selection issues; issues relating to guilt; issues relating to penalty; and the adequacy of the appellate record. The court ultimately affirmed the judgment.
