P. v. Drawn CA1/3
Robert Drawn IV was convicted of the first degree murder of Waleed Wheatfall, the attempted murder of K. Robinson and related firearms charges. His defense at trial was that he was not the shooter. Drawn contends it was error to admit hearsay evidence that police had information about the direction the shooter fled, and that the error was prejudicial because it tied the shooter to a hat that contained DNA consistent with his own. Not so. The testimony was properly admitted for a relevant nonhearsay purpose and, in any event, it was not prejudicial, so we affirm. But we correct two sentencing errors properly conceded by the People.
