Description
Richard Rodriquez has appealed from his judgment of conviction for second degree murder. His appeal raises several issues: (1) Did the trial court err in denying a motion for mistrial made by Rodriquez after the court refused to strike the testimony of a witness? (2) Did the court err in admitting the testimony of a detective offered in rebuttal to show that Rodriquez was not remorseful immediately after the killing? (3) Did the court err in denying Rodriquez' motion for a judgment of acquittal? And, (4) did the court err in refusing to grant a new trial after a juror submitted an affidavit stating that other jurors had pressured her into reaching a guilty verdict? We find that no prejudicial error occurred at Rodriquez' trial and that his conviction is supported by substantial, competent evidence. We thus affirm the conviction. On December 30, 1979, Richard Rodriquez and George Wemm spent the afternoon together drinking beer. They went from bar to bar ending up at a tavern in Meridian, Idaho, known as the Hanging Tree.
