P. v. Scarberry
A jury found appellant Christopher Warren Scarberry guilty of attempted lewd and lascivious conduct on a child under age 14. (See Pen. Code,[1] 288, subd. (a), 664.) He was granted probation and was required to register as a sex offender. (See 290.) Scarberry appeals, contending that the trial court erred by (1) denying his motion pursuant to Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda); (2) allowing a police officer to render an opinion on guilt; (3) allowing a witness to testify both as an expert witness and the lead investigator; and (4) admitting statements he made to police. He also asserts (5) a claim of prosecutorial misconduct, and challenges (6) the sufficiency of evidence to support his conviction. Court affirm the conviction.
