Written by the judges who cited it.
Later courts went against this
Overruled on other grounds by Hawkins v. Superior Court, 22 Cal. 3d 584 (1978)
However, in the most factually analogous case I could locate, People v. Sirhan, 7 Cal.3d 710, 102 Cal.Rptr. 385, 497 P.2d 1121 (1972), overruled on other grounds by Hawkins v. Superior Court, 22 Cal.3d 584, 150 Cal.Rptr. 435, 586 P.2d 916 (1978), the California Supreme Court held that the defendant's outburst was admissible as it did not further the policy of promoting plea bargaining.
The opinion
McCOMB, J.
I concur in the opinion, except that, for the reasons expressed in my dissenting opinion in People v. Anderson, 6 Cal.3d 628, 657 [ 100 Cal.Rptr. 152 , 493 P.2d 880 ], I dissent from the proposed modification of the judgment.
Appellant’s petition for a rehearing was denied July 26, 1972.
