P. v. Barron
Miguel Preciado Barron appeals from his conviction on one count of sale of a controlled substance and one count of possession of a controlled substance for sale. (Health & Saf. Code, 11351; 11352, subd. (a).) He contends: (1) he was denied effective assistance of counsel because his attorney failed to request a limiting instruction advising the jurors they could only consider evidence of his codefendants guilty plea for the purpose of assessing his codefendants credibility as a witness and not as substantive evidence of Barrons guilt; (2) the jury was improperly instructed with Judicial Council of California Criminal Jury Instructions (2007) CALCRIM No. 358 because the instruction was applied to his exculpatory oral statements; and (3) there was cumulative error. Court reject his contentions and affirm the judgment.
