P. v. Smith CA1/2
A jury convicted defendant Alvin Charles Smith of second degree robbery (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 212.5, subd. (c)), arising from an incident in a motel room involving the theft of cash from a man who responded to an online advertisement for prostitution services from Smith’s underage girlfriend. Smith contends two errors at his trial warrant reversal: he challenges as improper hearsay the admission of a police detective’s testimony about statements Smith’s girlfriend made in an interview concerning the incident, and he contends the jury was erroneously instructed concerning witnesses who testified under a grant of immunity. We reject both arguments and affirm the judgment.
