P. v. Walker
Codefendants Kamaron Walker (Walker) and Eric Alexander Williams (Williams) appeal from their judgments of conviction entered after a jury found them guilty of the murder of Dion Holloway (Holloway).
Walker contends that the trial court erred in admitting the testimony of a key prosecution witness, as well as the agreement the witness signed, granting him immunity and leniency in exchange for his truthful testimony. In the alternative, he asserts ineffective assistance of counsel in failing to object to the testimony and agreement. Walker also contends that a series of evidentiary rulings was erroneous and that the cumulative effect of them was prejudicial.
Williams contends that the trial court conducted an inadequate Marsden[1] inquiry, and that the sentence imposed upon him pursuant to Penal Code section 12022.53, subdivisions (d) and (e)(1),[2] was unauthorized. Williams also asks that the abstracts of judgment be amended to reflect that the restitution order was joint and several, and he joins in any arguments made by Walker to the extent they benefit him.
We conclude that defendants' contentions are without merit, and affirm the judgments.
