P. v. Delgado CA2/4
A jury convicted appellant Daniel Delgado of assault with a deadly weapon and attempted robbery, based on evidence that he hit a bicyclist with his car and then tried to grab the victim’s belongings. Appellant claims the trial court erroneously admitted two pieces of evidence: a prior misdemeanor conviction of an eyewitness and police officer testimony about a statement from a paramedic at the scene. We conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion in permitting the prosecution to impeach the witness by asking about misdemeanor misconduct. On the other hand, we find that the officer’s testimony regarding the paramedic’s statement was irrelevant and therefore its admission was in error. However, any error from the admission of either piece of evidence was harmless. We therefore affirm.
