P. v. Turner
In the early morning hours of November 7, 2009, Lathel Douglas, Jr., was shot and wounded in front of his father’s home in North Richmond. His father, Lathel Douglas, Sr., was shot and killed.[1] Appellant Charles Turner was convicted by jury of the second degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187)[2] of Douglas Sr. and attempted voluntary manslaughter (§§ 192, 664) of Douglas Jr. Turner was sentenced to a term of 47 years to life in state prison. On appeal, Turner contends that: (1) certain of Douglas Jr.’s statements to police were coerced and that their admission at trial violated Turner’s right to a fair trial; and (2) that the trial court violated Turner’s due process rights by misinstructing the jury on use of evidence of other offenses to prove identity (CALCRIM No. 375). We affirm.
