P. v. Norris
Curtis Norris appeals from a judgment of conviction for second degree murder. On appeal, Norris contends the trial court improperly denied his motion to suppress two letters he wrote while in jail awaiting trial, letters that were later used as evidence at his trial. Norris further contends his trial counsel was ineffective because counsel failed to prevent the jury from seeing and hearing a portion of one of the letters in which Norris referred to the possible sentence he might serve if convicted. Finally, Norris asserts that the prosecutor committed misconduct in her closing argument by improperly impugning the integrity of defense counsel.
We find none of Norris’s contentions persuasive. Accordingly, we will affirm the judgment.
