P. v. Lawrence
Robert Lawrence appeals from a judgment convicting him of mayhem and assault with a deadly weapon based on his attack on a homeless man in downtown San Diego. He argues the trial court erred in denying his day-of-trial request for a continuance to replace appointed counsel with retained counsel, and in denying his alternative request for self-representation. He also asserts the court erred by refusing his request that the jury be instructed on defense of property. We find no reversible error and affirm the judgment.
