P. v. Morales CA3
Defendant Ernest Lane Morales appeals after a jury found him guilty of arson of an inhabited structure and acquitted him of five counts of attempted murder. He contends the court erred by denying his motion for a mistrial, admitting evidence of his drug use, and incorrectly instructing the jury regarding the intent required for arson. He further argues the prosecutor committed misconduct by eliciting inadmissible evidence and that cumulative error resulted. Finding no merit in defendant’s claims, we affirm.
