P. v. Mann CA3
Defendant Michael Mann appeals from his convictions of sexually abusing a minor. He contends prejudicial error occurred in his trial because (1) the trial court refused to allow him to represent himself; (2) defense counsel rendered ineffective assistance by not objecting to expert testimony on Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome; (3) the court refused to allow him to cross-examine the expert witness on interrogation techniques used in a different child sex abuse case; (4) the court refused to allow him to impeach the testifying victim; (5) prosecutorial misconduct; and (6) cumulative error. We reject each of defendant’s contentions except we find one incident of misconduct occurred. However, the misconduct was not prejudicial. We affirm the judgment in its entirety.
