P. v. Roots
The defendant, James Tyler Roots, Jr., shot and killed
Obed Pigg. Convicted by jury of murder and other crimes, he appeals. He contends: (1) his trial was unfair because of
an unsupported motive theory presented by the prosecution,
(2) several errors resulted from the joinder of a gang participation count, (3) the prosecutor committed misconduct, (4) the asserted errors were prejudicial cumulatively, even if not so individually, and (5) the sentencing order was flawed. Other than two errors in the sentencing order, we find no prejudicial error. Therefore, we modify and affirm.
