P. v. Martin CA2/7
Following a trial at which Centia Renee Martin represented herself and did not testify, a jury convicted Martin of first degree murder and found true an allegation she personally used a firearm during the commission of the offense. Martin argued the trial court erred by initially denying her request under Faretta v. California (1975) 422 U.S. 806 to represent herself. Martin also contended the trial court violated her right to testify by denying her request to play a video recording of her post-arrest police interrogation in lieu of live direct testimony.
