159 Cal.App.2d 671 (1958)

324 P.2d 627

THE PEOPLE, Respondent, v. ROBERT CORNISH et al., Appellants.

Court of Appeals of California, Third District.

April 24, 1958.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard T. Tosaw, under appointment by the District Court of Appeal, for Appellants.

Edmund G. Brown, Attorney General, Doris Maier and William O. Minor, Deputy Attorneys General, for Respondent.


VAN DYKE, P.J.

These are appeals from a judgment entered upon the jury's verdicts finding appellants guilty of robbery in the second degree.

[1] The sole assignment of error on this appeal is the prejudicial misconduct of the deputy district attorney in asking appellant Cornish upon cross-examination: "Didn't you tell me your stupid attorney wanted you to plead guilty and you didn't want to?"
