Does a post-Miranda statement to police contradict the evidence supporting a defense?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Norman, A135815 (Cal. App. 2014):
Contrary to defendant's argument, where a post-Miranda statement to police is contradicted by the evidence supporting a defense at trial, the prosecution is allowed to explore and exploit inconsistencies and omissions, even if the defense is presented without the defendant's testimony. (People v. Love (1977) 75 Cal.App.3d 928, 931-934.) Defendant has not shown Doyle error.
