The following excerpt is from People v. Jacobs, 181 Cal.App.3d 916, 226 Cal.Rptr. 786 (Cal. App. 1986):
Neither did the trial court err in finding no Miranda violation. We have independently reviewed all of the evidence (People v. Davis (1981) 29 Cal.3d 814, 824, 176 Cal.Rptr. 521, 633 P.2d 186), including appellant's testimony, which arguably contradicted that of the police, and we conclude that the trial court properly found that the prosecution had shown that appellant had been given his Miranda rights and that he understood them and made a knowing and intelligent waiver of them. 4
