P. v. Branks CA1/3
Defendant Adam Douglas Branks appeals after a jury found him guilty of attempted murder and various other crimes. On appeal, defendant argues: (1) the evidence is insufficient to support his attempted murder conviction; (2) a witness improperly and prejudicially testified about his parole status; (3) trial counsel was ineffective; (4) the trial court erred in admitting expert testimony; (5) the court committed instructional error; and (6) cumulative prejudice requires reversal. In supplemental briefing, defendant raises a number of sentencing issues. We agree that several of defendant’s claims concerning sentencing require us to remand the matter to the trial court. In all other respects, we affirm the judgment.
