P. v. Smallwood
In December 2011, a jury found defendant Detouriantae Kymono Smallwood guilty of second degree robbery, unlawfully carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle, possessing a short-barreled shotgun, and concealing a short-barreled shotgun in a vehicle. The jury also found true the enhancement allegation that defendant personally used a firearm in the commission of the robbery. The court sentenced defendant to a total of 13 years in prison.
On appeal, defendant claims the judgment must be reversed because the trial court unconstitutionally limited his cross-examination of Sacramento Police Officer Amy Slay. He further claims that the court prejudicially erred by failing sua sponte to instruct the jury on accomplice testimony. We disagree and affirm.
