P. v. Haqq
Defendant appeals from the judgment following his conviction for second degree murder.The People charged appellant with one count of murder and one count of vehicular manslaughter for Hattie Lauderdale's death. They also charged him with unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle, and leaving the scene of an accident in which someone was injured. Appellant contends multiple mistakes by the trial court denied him a fair trial. He complains particularly about some of the court's evidentiary rulings, especially those relating to gangs and opinion testimony by witnesses. Defendant also contends the court's misinstruction of the jury led jurors to mistakenly convict him of murder, instead of the crime of which he was guilty, vehicular manslaughter. Court affirm.
