People v. Campbell

by
Defendant was convicted of charges stemming from him driving his car onto the Venice Beach Boardwalk and plowing into 10 separate groups of people in close succession. The Court of Appeal affirmed, holding that the prosecutor's reference to defendant's post-Miranda silence was a fair response to defendant's trial testimony that he cooperated fully with police, and defendant was properly convicted of 10 counts of fleeing the scene of an accident because there were 10 distinct accidents after which he could have stopped and rendered aid but did not.
