Description
The appellant, Constantine Baruso, appeals his conviction for aggravated murder in the first degree. Baruso claims the trial court erred by not suppressing his post- Miranda statements made during police custody, which he claims are tainted by his pre- Miranda statements to the police made during the same interrogation. Baruso also contends the trial court erred by admitting the hearsay statements of a coconspirator, arguing that the statements were not made in the course of or to further the conspiracy. Lastly, Baruso challenges the trial court's imposition of a sentence for aggravated murder in the first degree claiming that because he was acquitted on a second count of premeditated first degree murder, that murder may not be taken into account as an aggravating circumstance.
