P. v. Williams
Defendant Frank Williams appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial in which he was convicted of two counts of first degree murder; two counts of willful, deliberate, and premeditated attempted murder; mayhem; and shooting at an occupied motor vehicle, with special circumstance, gang, great bodily injury, and personal firearm-use findings. Defendant raises numerous claims of error, including several contentions regarding the trial court's admission of evidence discovered late in the trial that a defense alibi witness was arrested in possession of one of two guns used in the charged offenses. Court conclude that the trial court should have excluded this evidence under Evidence Code section 352 and that its admission was prejudicial. Accordingly, court reverse.
