P. v. Hughes CA1/2
Defendant Edward Culver Hughes appeals from the final judgment of conviction of second degree murder based upon alleged instructional error and prosecutorial misconduct. Defendant also challenges the trial court’s imposition of a restraining order at judgment and sentencing which precludes defendant from contact with his minor son for 10 years. We find that (1) defendant’s claims of error have been forfeited by his failure to object in the trial court; (2) defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel was not violated; and (3) defendant’s claims of error either lack merit or constitute harmless error. Accordingly, we affirm.
