P. v. Newman
Defendant shot and killed his adult son in the course of an argument. Defendant was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, and the jury found to be true an allegation that he used a firearm. Defendant was sentenced to 21 years in prison, consisting of the upper term for both the manslaughter conviction and the firearm enhancement. Defendant appeals, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence, the trial court’s rulings on a motion for mistrial, possible jury misconduct, and his sentence. Court concluded that defendant waived several alleged errors by failing to pursue them at trial, and otherwise concluded that the trial court did not err. Judgment Affirmed.
