P. v. Allen CA2/2
Defendant and appellant Charles Edward Allen (defendant) appeals from his conviction of assault with intent to commit rape, criminal threats, and attempting to dissuade a witness. He contends that the trial court erred in denying his motions to allow his investigator to examine the crime scene, in excluding demonstrative and impeachment evidence, in admitting evidence of his uncharged violence toward the victim, and in affirming the jail administration’s decision to terminate his pro. per. library privileges. Defendant further contends that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his Romero motion to dismiss his prior strikes ; and that his sentence was cruel and unusual in violation of the Eight Amendment. Defendant also requests that we review the sealed transcript of the in camera hearing on his Pitchess motion.
