P. v. Barker
Defendant and appellant Stacy Marie Barker (defendant) appeals from the judgment entered upon her conviction of murder and related crimes. Defendant contends that the trial court erred in denying her motion for a change of venue, her Batson/Wheeler motion,[1] and her Massiah motion.[2] She also contends that the trial court unduly restricted cross-examination, that evidentiary rulings and instructional error deprived her of a fair trial and due process, that her conviction of first degree murder was not supported by substantial evidence, and that cumulative error deprived her of a fair trial. In addition, defendant asks that we review the in camera proceedings held pursuant to her Pitchess motion.[3]
