P. v. Alvarez
Richard Alvarez appeals from the judgment entered after a jury convicted him of first degree murder and second degree robbery and found true a criminal street gang special circumstance related to the murder and firearm use and criminal street gang allegations as to both offenses. Alvarez does not challenge his second degree robbery conviction or the special allegations related to that offense. He, however, contends the judgment with respect to his first degree murder conviction should be reversed because the trial court prejudicially erred in limiting the testimony of his psychologist's expert testimony regarding his history with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We agree and thus reverse the judgment with respect to the first degree murder conviction and attendant special circumstance and allegations.
