P. v. Sloan CA1/4
Defendant Warren Sloan was convicted by jury of first degree murder (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 189), along with an enhancement for use of a deadly weapon, a knife (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)). The trial court found Sloan had sustained a prior strike conviction and sentenced him to 52 years to life in prison. On appeal, Sloan argues (1) the court erred by denying his motion for a mistrial based on alleged misconduct by the prosecutor and a prosecution witness, (2) portions of the testimony of a different prosecution witness were improperly admitted, and (3) the court erred by admitting evidence of tattoos on Sloan’s arms. We affirm.
