Description
Defendant previously appealed from a judgment which imposed the death penalty in accordance with a jury verdict. We upheld his conviction of murder of the first degree, but, because of errors relating to the issue of punishment, we remanded the cause for the sole purpose of redetermining that issue. (People v. Friend, 47 Cal. 2d 749, 772 [306 P.2d 463].) On retrial, the jury fixed the penalty at death, and the case is again before us automatically. (Pen. Code, § 1239, subd. (b).) The only question presented is whether defendant was deprived of a fair trial by the judge's comments on the evidence.
