P. v. Norton
Quincy Dean Norton (appellant) appeals from a judgment entered after a jury convicted him of first degree murder. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, 189.) He contends his conviction must be reversed because (1) the trial court erred when it prevented him from presenting evidence concerning the prior misconduct of a third-party culpability suspect, (2) the court erred when it admitted evidence of his own prior misconduct, (3) the court erred when it admitted expert evidence about intimate partner battering syndrome and its effects, (4) the court erred when it denied his pretrial motion under People v. Wheeler (1978) 22 Cal.3d 258 (Wheeler), and (5) his conviction of first degree murder is not supported by substantial evidence. We conclude the trial court did not commit any prejudicial errors and will affirm.
