P. v. Davis
Defendant Lisa Gay Davis was convicted, along with codefendant Mellon Moseley, of possessing methamphetamine for sale, maintaining a place for the sale or use of methamphetamine, and other charges. We agree with her claim that the trial court erred in excluding from evidence a statement Moseley made to a police officer during the trial. The error, however, was harmless. The excluded statement would have provided additional support to a defense Davis presented through other evidence. Yet it is not reasonably probable, under the circumstances of this case, that the added increment of support would have altered the outcome. Court reject Daviss claims that the evidence was insufficient to support the convictions, that there was prejudicial error in the jury instructions, and that her trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance when, at the close of the prosecutions case, she failed to join Moseleys motion for acquittal. Court affirm the judgment.
