P. v. Godfrey
Defendant Alexander Scott Godfrey was charged with first degree burglary and an allegation that a person other than defendant or an accomplice was present. At a meeting before trial, defense counsel cursed at defendant and left the room. The trial court denied defendant’s motion to substitute counsel, and a jury found him guilty of the charge and found the allegation that a person other than defendant or an accomplice was present was true. On appeal, defendant contends the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion to substitute counsel because his counsel’s actions created an irreconcilable conflict likely to result in ineffective representation. We disagree and affirm.
