P. v. Lyons
Defendant Bart Loran Lyons contends the prosecutor in his trial for possessing a controlled substance for sale and other drug offenses committed misconduct when, during cross-examination, he asked defendant’s expert witness about defendant’s prior arrests and convictions for possession and transportation for sale. Defendant admits his counsel did not object. Having forfeited a direct challenge to this issue, defendant claims he suffered ineffective assistance of counsel. We disagree, and, except to order the abstract of judgment amended to record the correct amount of presentence credit, we affirm the judgment.
