P. v. Valle CA1/2
A jury found defendant Francisco Valle guilty of attempting to murder two San Francisco police officers; assaulting those officers with a firearm; being a past-convicted felon in possession of a firearm; and receiving stolen property. He was sentenced to state prison for two consecutive life terms, plus 45 years. He contends the trial court erred in denying his mid-trial motion to represent himself, and in denying his motion for a new trial. We conclude the new trial motion should have been granted. In light of this conclusion, and there being no likelihood of it recurring, we express no opinion on the ruling on the self-representation motion.
