P. v. Goodwin
A jury convicted Patrick Glenn Goodwin, a prisoner at California State Prison, Corcoran, of battery on a person who was not an inmate. The conviction resulted from a struggle between Goodwin and correctional officers as Goodwin was being escorted to his cell. Goodwin argues the trial court erred by refusing to permit him to testify in his defenseand by refusing to appoint counsel to represent him at the sentencing hearing. We conclude neither argument has merit and affirm the judgment.
