P. v. Patrick
Defendant Nicholas Patrick robbed James Fullard, Jr. and then shot and killed Fullard and Doretha Moore. Convicted of robbery and special circumstances murder, defendant appeals. He contends that: (1) he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his trial counsel did not make a hearsay objection; (2) a conversation that he had with his codefendant was improperly admitted; (3) the trial court allowed questions that invaded his attorney-client privilege; (4) he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his trial counsel had a conflict of interest; (5) the trial court improperly instructed the jury that his refusal to complete cross-examination could be considered in assessing his credibility; (6) items from the pocket of his shorts were improperly admitted; (7) the trial court improperly denied his motion for new trial based on prosecutorial misconduct; (8) the consecutive sentencing violated Penal Code section 654; and (9) the errors were cumulatively prejudicial. Finding no error, Court affirm.
