P. v. Fuller CA1/1
Defendant Larry Darnell Fuller appeals from a conviction, following a jury trial, of one count of murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) with the special circumstance that the victim was killed to prevent his testimony (§ 190.2, subd. (a)(10)) and one count of an ex-felon in possession of a firearm (§ 29800, subd. (a)(1)). The jury also found true that defendant personally and intentionally used a firearm, causing great bodily injury and death (§§ 12022.7, subd. (a), 12022.53, subd. (d)). On appeal, he contends (1) the trial court erred in admitting evidence of a prior crime to determine motive and (2) testimony that he was restrained at his preliminary hearing was prejudicial, or alternatively, his counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the testimony.
