P. v. Gomez

Richard Gomez appeals from his judgment of conviction for murder and attempted murder, with firearm special allegations. He raises several claims of evidentiary error: the exclusion of a letter purportedly written by his brother; admission of a hearsay statement as an adoptive admission; and admission of evidence of prior uncharged acts to prove a common plan, scheme and intent. He also argues the trial court should have granted a mistrial after a prosecution witness disclosed to the jury that she was a probation officer although the trial court had previously ruled that such evidence was inadmissible.
We conclude the trial court erred in admitting evidence of one prior uncharged act, but that this error was harmless. No other error occurred. We shall affirm the judgment.
