P. v. Wells
Defendant was convicted of first degree murder. At the time of the shooting, he lived in Richmond, but the shooting occurred in Vallejo. Soon afterward, police reviewed videotapes from a toll bridge connecting the two cities and failed to locate defendant's car at the expected time. Following the review, the tapes were reused rather than preserved as evidence. Defendant asserts various errors associated with the failure to preserve these tapes. In addition, defendant raises several instructional issues and contends that the trial court erred in failing to conduct a hearing into the reliability of expert testimony regarding the use of defendant's cellular telephone on the night of the shooting. Court affirm.
