P. v. Mitchell CA2/2
Defendants Bernard Mitchell (Mitchell) and Anthony Reed Watts (Watts) (collectively, defendants) each stand convicted of six counts of second degree robbery and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm for their roles in robbing two banks. On appeal, they challenge one of the trial court’s evidentiary rulings; Watts challenges the sufficiency of the evidence; both defendants challenge the substitution of the trial judge prior to closing argument; both defendants allege prosecutorial misconduct; and one or both defendants raise a number of sentencing issues. None of these arguments warrants disturbing defendants’ underlying convictions.
