P. v. Rocha CA2/4
Armando Rocha and Javier Trujillo appeal from their judgments of conviction of first degree murder, with gang and firearm use enhancements. Rocha argues the court incorrectly instructed the jury that exculpatory testimony by an accomplice required corroboration. He also argues the prosecutor engaged in misconduct in rebuttal. Trujillo challenges the introduction of evidence of prior bad acts and the lack of a limiting instruction on the use of such evidence. He also challenges an in-court identification of him as a person armed with a gun during an uncharged robbery and a witness’s opinion about his gang membership. Both appellants ask us to review the sealed record of the in camera hearing held on a discovery request, and both argue cumulative error. We find no error requiring reversal and affirm the judgments.
