P. v. White
A jury convicted defendant and appellant Billy Roy White of one count of sale of a controlled substance. At Whites trial, the prosecutor introduced a photographic exhibit, Peoples exhibit 1, identified as the drugs White sold to an undercover police officer. Peoples exhibit 1 was not produced before trial, and it was, arguably, inconsistent with another photograph, defense exhibit A, which was produced before trial. After the People rested, Whites trial counsel asked to recall officers to ask them about defense exhibit A. The trial court denied the request. White now appeals, contending that the trial court abused its discretion and denied him his right to present a complete defense. He also contends that there is insufficient evidence of his prior prison terms. Court remand the case for a retrial on the prison priors. Court otherwise affirm the judgment.
