P. v. Ramirez CA2/2
Defendant and appellant John Silva Ramirez (defendant) appeals from his murder conviction. He contends: that the denial of his severance motion violated his Sixth Amendment right of confrontation; his codefendant’s coerced statements were improperly admitted; government misconduct resulted in a denial of due process; it was error to admit the victim’s identification of defendant as a dying declaration; the prosecution’s expert’s reliance on case-specific hearsay was error; jurors lost the ability to remain impartial due to inflammatory gang testimony and the intimidating behavior of defendant’s father outside the courtroom; and that the cumulative effect of errors resulted in the denial of a fair trial. Defendant also purports to join the arguments contained in codefendant’s as yet unfiled briefs in his separate appeal. Finding no reversible error, we affirm the judgment.
