P. v. Steele
After a several-week jury trial, a Humboldt County jury convicted appellant of one count of second degree murder and one count of making criminal threats. It also found true several special allegations regarding the second degree murder count. Appellant appeals, contending that the trial court erred in instructing the jury with CALCRIM No. 3472, which provides that the right of self defense may not be contrived. We find neither error nor prejudice in the giving of that instruction and hence affirm appellant’s conviction.
