P. v. Brooks CA1/5
A jury convicted Charles Anthony Brooks of second degree robbery (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 212.5, subd. (c)) after he stole some power cords from a frightened sandwich shop patron. In this appeal, he argues that the trial court erred in failing to provide him with a hearing under People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 (Marsden), to determine whether he should be appointed substitute counsel based on his concerns about his appointed attorney’s performance. Further, he contends that the evidence was insufficient to support his robbery conviction and the court erred in declining to instruct the jury on attempted robbery. We conclude that his arguments lack merit, and we therefore affirm.
