How later courts describe this case
- departure sentence based in part upon defendant's unscored juvenile adjudication in 1960 and unscored murder conviction in 1966 was valid
- pro se representation is not good cause for failing to object
- that defendant may have benefitted from an expert who might explain to the jury "such tricks of the mind as were or might have been employed by the police" did not mean that defendant was deprived of the ability to present a fair defense
