People v. Johnson

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment imposing a death sentence after concluding that defendant's statements to a psychiatrist were admissible despite multiple earlier violations of his Miranda rights. Although law enforcement violated defendant's rights by repeatedly questioning him after his invocations, defendant later initiated the conversation and knowingly and voluntarily waived his rights. The court held that the later statements were not the product of coercion or the earlier unlawful interrogations.
