P. v. Gonzalez
Defendant appeals from his conviction for selling and furnishing cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code, 11352, subd. (a)), and possession of cocaine base for sale (Health & Saf. Code, 11351.5). Gonzalez contends that the trial court erroneously ruled that his police station confession was admissible. Gonzalez also contends that his counsel provided ineffective assistance by calling a witness whose testimony allowed the prosecutor to introduce incriminating statements the witness had made about Gonzalez. Court conclude that the trial court did not err in ruling that Gonzalez's police station confession was admissible, and that defense counsel's decision to call the witness in question did not amount to ineffective assistance of counsel. Court thus affirm the judgment of conviction.
