P. v. Nash
Defendants motion to suppress evidence was denied and he was convicted following a jury trial of possession of cocaine base for sale (Health & Saf. Code, 11351.5). In this appeal, defendant renews his objection to the seizure of cocaine, claims that the prosecutor improperly excused a potential juror for reasons related to race, objects to the flight instruction given by the trial court, and asserts that the prosecutor committed misconduct. We find that the cocaine was not seized as the result of an unlawful detention of defendant. We also conclude that the challenged juror was challenged for race-neutral reasons, the flight instruction was warranted, and no prosecutorial misconduct was committed. Court therefore affirm the judgment.
