James A. Goldstein, defending a first degree murder case in San Fernando gained a dismissal by way of a Motion to Dismiss (1118.1 Penal Code) at the close of the defense case. Judge Harvey Giss granted the motion. Goldstein was able to get his client’s confession suppressed as the result of the coercive tactics employed by LAPD Homicide Detectives.
