P. v. Barron
A jury convicted defendant of assault with a deadly weapon and found that he committed that offense for the benefit of a criminal street gang. (Pen. Code, 245, subd. (a)(1), 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(B).)[1] Defendant admitted that he had previously suffered a prior conviction that qualified as a serious felony and as a strike. ( 667, subd. (a), 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12.) The court sentenced defendant to 16 years in state prison. On appeal, defendant argues that the trial courts ruling excluding defense-proffered evidence of police misconduct was error under Evidence Code section 352 and also infringed upon his federal constitutional rights. He also argues that the prosecutor committed misconduct during closing argument. Court will affirm.
