P. v. Trinidad
Fifteen-year-old defendant Jorge Martin Trinidad was convicted of first degree murder and second degree robbery after he repeatedly stabbed Marcella Ramos and took her purse. On appeal, he contends (1) the trial court erred in refusing to instruct the jury on the right to use force to recover stolen property, (2) the trial court erred in refusing to instruct the jury on the claim-of-right defense to robbery, and (3) defense counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the prosecutor’s closing argument on provocation and voluntary manslaughter. We will affirm.
