P. v. Settle
Defendant Johnathan Willard Settle strangled and killed his 62-year-old great‑aunt, Rita Cordrey, about 11 days after he was released from prison. He appeals from his first degree murder conviction, contending (1) defense counsel was ineffective for failing to object to inadmissible and prejudicial evidence, (2) the trial court abused its discretion by denying defendant’s motion to discharge a juror, and (3) the abstract of judgment must be corrected to reflect the credits to which defendant is entitled. We will direct the trial court to amend the abstract of judgment to reflect the proper credits and affirm the judgment as so modified.
