P. v. Walker CA3
Following a jury trial, defendant Tracey Renee Walker was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon (a knife) and was found to have personally inflicted great bodily injury upon the victim during the commission of the offense. Defendant was sentenced to six years in state prison. On appeal, she contends the mutual combat jury instruction given was not supported by the evidence, the trial court failed to address the jury’s request for clarification on the mutual combat instruction, the prosecutor engaged in prosecutorial misconduct by misrepresenting the evidence and misstating the law during closing arguments, and the accumulation of these errors amounted to ineffective assistance of counsel. We affirm.
