P. v. Hunter CA1/2
Darrell Hunter appeals from a conviction of making a criminal threat. He contends that, due to his incompetence during the trial, the court erred in failing to suspend proceedings and conduct a competency examination, in denying a motion for new trial and in failing to hold a hearing to determine whether appellant’s absence from trial was voluntary. He further contends his right to a fair trial was violated by juror misconduct during voir dire. In a related petition for writ of habeas corpus, he contends he received ineffective assistance of counsel due to his attorney’s failure to investigate and present a defense based on his mental state at the time of the charged offense. We will affirm the conviction and deny the petition.
