P. v. Blakeley CA1/3
Edward Blakeley (defendant) appeals from a judgment entered after a jury convicted him of attempted first degree burglary (Pen. Code, §§ 459, 664) and the trial court sentenced him to three years in prison—two years for the attempted burglary and one year for a prior prison term enhancement. Defendant contends the prosecutor committed misconduct by: (1) eliciting evidence of the victim’s fear, in violation of an in limine order; (2) stating during closing argument that a metal bar is a typical burglary tool; and (3) misstating the evidence during closing argument. Defendant also claims that to the extent his claims were forfeited, he was provided with ineffective assistance of counsel. We reject defendant’s contentions and affirm the judgment.
