P. v. Sandoval
After a one and a half-day jury trial, appellant was convicted of one count of selling methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, 11379); the jury found an alleged firearm enhancement to also be true. (Pen. Code, 12022, subd. (c).) On appeal, appellant contends his conviction should be reversed because (1) his trial counsel was deprived of an adequate opportunity to cross-examine a key prosecution witness, thus denying him the constitutional right of confrontation, (2) that counsel was ineffective for failing to raise a Fourth Amendment claim to suppress evidence of a gun seized by police when appellant was arrested, and (3) prosecutorial misconduct. Court reject all of these contentions and thus affirm appellants conviction.
