P. v. Fletcher CA2/3
Defendant Shawn Allan Fletcher appeals from a conviction on one count of attempted robbery (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 664). While a Metro bus was stopped at a bus stop, defendant removed a bicycle from the rack on the front of the bus and rode away on it while being chased, and ultimately caught, by the bicycle’s owner. At trial, defendant claimed he purchased the bicycle for $74 from an unknown man who got off the bus and offered to sell the bicycle to the people standing at and around the bus stop.
Defendant contends the court made numerous errors during the trial which were individually and cumulatively prejudicial. First, defendant contends the court erred in denying his request to represent himself after the conclusion of the defense case. We agree the court erred in denying the request solely because it was untimely. And because the court did not undertake the review prescribed by the Supreme Court in People v. Windham (1977) 19 Cal.3d 121, 128 (Windham), we are unable to assess
