P. v. Haro CA2/7
A jury convicted Renan Roman Haro of first degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a) ), and found that he personally discharged a firearm that caused death (§ 12022.53, subd. (d)). Haro admitted to a prior serious felony conviction that qualified as a strike (§§ 667, subds. (a)(1), (b)-(j), 1170.12, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced him to prison for a term of 80 years to life.
On appeal, Haro claims that three statements the prosecutor made in closing argument constituted prejudicial misconduct and that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance in failing to object to the prosecutor’s comments. Haro makes an additional claim of ineffective assistance of counsel based on his attorney’s failure to request a limiting instruction on evidence of uncharged misbehavior by Haro that was introduced at trial. Haro’s claims lack merit. Therefore, we affirm the judgment.
