P. v. Jones
Appellant Daniel Paul Jones was convicted after a jury trial of several counts relating to his possession of illegal drugs and firearms. On appeal, he argues (1) the trial court erred in denying his pretrial motion to represent himself, (2) a jury instruction regarding flight was impermissibly argumentative, (3) a jury finding that certain firearms were “loaded” was not supported by substantial evidence, (4) a jury instruction regarding knowledge was contrary to law, (5) the trial court erroneously admitted certain expert opinion testimony, (6) the trial court erred in denying appellant’s request for appointed counsel at sentencing, and (7) the trial court erred in failing to award appellant any presentence custody credit. We agree solely with appellant’s last contention and modify the judgment accordingly. We otherwise affirm.
