P. v. Garcia CA4/2
Following a jury trial, defendant and appellant, Richard Garcia, was convicted of first degree residential burglary. (Pen. Code, § 459.) Defendant admitted one prior strike/prior serious felony conviction and one prison prior, and was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
The court denied defendant’s request to allow Dr. Robert Shomer to testify as an expert witness on the reliability of eyewitness identifications. In this appeal, defendant claims the court abused its discretion in excluding Dr. Shomer’s testimony and that the exclusion of the testimony violated defendant’s due process right to present a defense.
We find no merits to these claims and affirm the judgment.
