P. v. Coleman
Jofama Coleman appeals from the judgment and order denying his motion for new trial after a jury convicted him of first degree murder (Pen. Code 187, subd. (a)). Coleman contends the jurors inadvertent review of information that disclosed he had a prior felony conviction and had been arrested for carrying a concealed weapon one month before the crime for which he was being tried constituted prejudicial misconduct warranting reversal of his underlying conviction. Although we agree the jurors review of the inadmissible booking information was misconduct, Court affirm the order denying the new trial and the underlying judgment.
