P. v. Rosiles CA5
Gabriel Rosiles stands convicted of the murder of his girlfriend and infliction of corporal injury on her. He argues his conviction must be reversed for a number of reasons. He first contends the trial court committed multiple prejudicial evidentiary errors by: (1) excluding relevant third party culpability evidence; (2) admitting evidence of prior acts of domestic violence without proper foundation; (3) admitting improper expert testimony on domestic violence; and (4) admitting the improper opinion testimony of an investigating detective. Rosiles next argues the trial court gave a prejudicially erroneous jury instruction regarding consciousness of guilt arising from a third party’s false testimony. Finally, Rosiles argues that trial counsel was ineffective in numerous respects. We will affirm.
