P. v. Junior CA1/2
Defendant Melvin Junior appeals from a judgment of conviction for auto theft, entered after a jury trial. He contends the trial court erred by admitting evidence of his previous auto theft conviction and his “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City” video game tattoo because it was propensity and character evidence admitted in violation of Evidence Code section 1101, subdivision (a). He also argues the prosecutor committed misconduct in closing argument. We conclude the trial court did not err by admitting evidence of his prior auto theft conviction; that defendant forfeited his appellate claim regarding the court’s admission of evidence of his “Grand Theft Auto” tattoo; and that defendant does not establish the prosecutor committed misconduct. Therefore, we affirm.
