P. v. Schmidt CA1/2
Defendant Devin Lee James Schmidt appeals from a judgment of conviction, after a jury trial in which he was found guilty of committing arson on an inhabited structure for setting fire to the home he shared with his mother and her boyfriend in Eureka, California. Schmidt raises a single issue involving admission of two pieces of evidence he claims were irrelevant and unduly prejudicial, specifically, that his blood was on a gasoline can firefighters found inside a bedroom in the home, and that he admitted having earlier in the day turned up burners on the stove in an attempt to burn his mother’s food because he was angry at her. We find no error and therefore affirm.
