P. v. Price
An information charged Shantic Price in count I with attempted willful, deliberate, premeditated murder, in count II with shooting at an occupied vehicle, and in count III with assault with a semiautomatic firearm. The information included special allegations for personal use and discharge of a firearm, personal infliction of great bodily injury, three prior serious or violent felonies, and two prior prison terms. The jury convicted Price on counts II and III, but deadlocked on count I, and the court declared a mistrial on count I. Following Prices jury waiver, the court found the prior conviction allegations to be true. The court sentenced Price to 52 years to life. Price, who filed a timely notice of appeal, contends the court erred by allowing him to be impeached with a prior conviction without sanitizing it, he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his counsel did not object to instructions about viewing oral admissions with caution, and the prosecutor committed misconduct by distorting evidence and arguing facts not in evidence. Court affirm.
