P. v. Farrugia
A jury found defendant guilty of second degree robbery. (Pen. Code, S 212.5, subd. (c).) Defendant asserts the court erred in refusing to admit into evidence the statements of two unavailable witnesses who identified the perpetrator as an African American (defendant is White). He also claims that the court erred in failing to grant a mistrial after the jury learned that he had a criminal history and that he was carrying a knife at the time of his arrest. Finally, he raises several challenges to the court's jury instructions. Court find no errors and affirm the judgment.
