P. v. Nguyen
Jeff D. Nguyen was convicted, by a jury, of the first degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a))[1] of his wife, Mai Banh. The jury also found “true†allegations that Nguyen personally used a deadly weapon (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)). Nguyen appeals, contending that his murder conviction should be reversed because: (1) the trial court erroneously failed to properly answer the jury’s question regarding premeditation during deliberations; and (2) his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the court’s response to the jury and to the prosecutor’s misstatement of the law on provocation during closing argument. We affirm.
