P. v. Hammond
Leon Dwight Hammond (appellant) appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial in which he was convicted of possession of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, 11350, subd. (a)) and a court trial in which he was found to have suffered one prior conviction within the meaning of the Three Strikes Law (Pen. Code, 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d), and 667, subds. (b)-(i)) and served three prior prison terms within the meaning of Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (b). He was sentenced to eight years in prison. He appeals, contending that his constitutional rights were violated when the court excluded third-party culpability evidence, and his counsels failure to object to the prosecutors closing argument constituted ineffective assistance. Court affirm the judgment.
