P. v. Lopez CA4/1
Victor Manuel Lopez seeks reversal of his conviction and sentence of 25 years to life in prison. He argues: (1) he was improperly denied the opportunity to testify about the suicidal ideation he felt after he killed his wife; (2) a journal entry written by the victim was admitted improperly over his hearsay objections; (3) the prosecutor misstated the law and shifted the burden of proof during closing argument; and (4) the court misstated a jury instruction. For reasons we explain, we conclude there were no reversible errors and affirm the judgment.
