People v. Frazier

Summary

The court affirmed the capital judgment, concluding that the trial court properly excused a prospective juror whose death-penalty views substantially impaired his ability to serve, declined to conduct all voir dire individually, and instructed the jury on flight. It also held that the defendant's requests for self-representation during the penalty and postverdict proceedings were untimely and properly denied, and that presenting mitigating evidence over his objection did not violate his Sixth Amendment autonomy right. The opinion further states that the judgment was affirmed in its entirety.
