P. v. Darrough
A jury convicted defendant and appellant Christian Darrough of one count of possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, in violation of Health and Safety Code section 11377, subdivision (a). Darrough brought two oral motions to remove his attorney, which the court ruled were in fact two Marsden[1] motions; one on December 18, 2012 and one on January 17, 2013. He argued ineffective assistance of counsel for refusing to file a Pitchess[2] motion and failure to object to the testimony of the arresting officer.
