P. v. Yohn CA1/2
While being pursued by the police, defendant Alexander D. Yohn, who was highly intoxicated, ran a red light and struck and killed motorcyclist Andrew Silva. As a result, a jury convicted defendant of second degree murder and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a) and 191.5, subd. (a).) Defendant contends on appeal that the trial court erred by admitting photographs of the victim’s injuries over defendant’s Evidence Code section 352 objections, and that the error had the effect of violating his right to due process of law. We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting this evidence and affirm the judgment.
